BlawgReview Editor works for American Lawyer Media?

Someone asked me this question, and I pass it along without comment:  “Why does American Lawyer Media own BlawgReview?”  I also got this nugget:  the telephone number listed for “Ed Post” belongs to Jennifer Collins’ at ALM.

Update:  Now it makes more sense.  Here is a post from Lisa Stone on ALM’s Legal Blog Watch referencing the BlawgReview Awards and talking about the Anonymous Editor:

Meet Lady Justice or Themis, as portrayed by She-Hulk and Greg Horn, Marvel artiste extraordinaire. She is your host for Blawg Review Awards 2005, which is most appropriate, given her day job and her not-so-mild-mannered alter-ego. If you don't know Jennifer's backstory, then you need to read on.

Update 2:  I really like BlawgReview.  It’s a great concept well executed.  And I don’t know 100% for sure that Jennifer is the anonymous editor,  just a hunch.  Also, I absolutely have total respect for the public contributing editors Evan, Michael, and Kevin.  I’ve just been wondering how ALM’s up-to-now anonymous ownership of BlawgReview (or of the domain, at least) factors in to the whole equation.   In the interest of full disclosure (and it’s all about disclosure, isn’t it?), I used to belong to the law.com blog network.  Any ax grinding I had to do, was done here

Update 3:  The BlawgReview editor tells me I’m wrong.
