Our 50,000th non-spam comment has just been posted by Richard Phillips. Here’s a taste:

The thing about car locks and regulation demonstrates a huge legal issue, I think. It is, simply, that law that is written by legislators is almost inevitably too tight and does not leave enough wiggle room. We can see this if we compare the common law, and the way judges (with all their faults) are able to deal with just the issue in front of them, follow principles, and leave space for the law to develop.

For contrast we are up to 3,566 posts — and the famous Dr Gruen is just 3 posts away from overtaking the famous Prof. Parish as the leading poster at Club Troppo.
