As you have probably noticed, we Volokh Conspirators tend to blog on a pretty eclectic set of topics. On Wednesday, for example, we blogged about sex discrimination and same-sex marriage; terminology used in news reports about terror attacks; civil lawsuits; word puzzles; retiring sports announcers; supreme court nominations; restaurants near Toledo; legal brief formattting; and a couple of other topics.

  Here's my question: Do you like the mix? Or would you prefer if we divided the VC — either within the blog or by starting new spin-off blogs — so that there is more subject matter uniformity? This is an issue that comes up with a lot of blogs, and particularly with group blogs. Without editors to pass on whether a particular post topic is appropriate, bloggers tend to write about whatever they feel like writing about. Sometimes bloggers split up their work into two distinct blogs; for example, Stephen Bainbridge has his general blog and his wine blog. Analogously, we could split the VC into a "law and legal academia" blog and an "everything else" blog. Alternatively, perhaps we could just classify different posts by topic in a way that you could view topic-by-topic.

  I'm curious whether readers have strong thoughts about seeing something like this at the VC. Should we keep it 'as is,' or try for a structure with more subject matter uniformity? As always, civil and respectful comments only. (Oh, and to be clear, this is just a question I have, not something that I have discussed with any of my co-bloggers. So even if you want it, I don't know whether it would happen.)
