San Francisco may not regulate bloggers after all

Appears the SF Board of Supes are having second and revisionary thoughts about regulating "bloggers". I like Declan's conclusions:

San Francisco isn't alone, of course. First it was Apple Computer insisting that online scribes aren't legitimate journalists. Then the Federal Election Commission considered a blogospheric crackdown and sensibly moderated its views, though Canada didn't.

It really might be simpler, or at least more straightforward, if San Francisco politicos would go back to enacting windmill-tilting laws likely to be overturned by the courts or voting for more resolutions about "Far West Fungi Day." That was last week, by the way.
