Hey YOU!!! YEA YOU!

     Taking cheap shots in newspaper "after the story" forums might not be so cheap anymore. A case that's being watched by privacy experts is tyring to pry the actual identity of a poster in a Chicago paper. Just how brave will "John Doe" be when he has to accept public ownership of his comments?

     Readers of this blog know I detest anonymous comments in the papers (or elsewhere), and I've applauded the changes instituted at The Birmingham News to eliminate some of the racist and otherwise offensive language and messages.
     Yes, we all have the right to say what we want. I just object to the newspapers acting as their shield.
     Let 'em start a blog, or better yet, a newspaper!
