Barry, the lack of accountability on the internet has always been a source of frustration for me. Newspapers always required letters to the editor to include a full name and a phone number and address (only the name and hometown would actually be printed). Now those same newspapers let anyone write almost anything anonymously on their blogs. Scathing attacks are commonplace in my newspaper's blogs, because without having to include their name, people feel emboldened to say horrible things.
