What's the point of responding to someone who won't stand behind her/his statements? And why some media continue to enforce a "sign up" in order to comment is puzzling. It doesn't attract more readers, it just prompts people to opt out of the discussion.<br />-rp-Rob's Media Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851021589057412155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224025164463388232.post-64341882522913375472009-10-15T21:49:22.016-07:002009-10-15T21:49:22.016-07:00Duh.

Not only is that good for discussions re the news, but it should be a way that students get to know each other. That seemed to be more of a challenge in a two year, commuter college.<br /><br />I love it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607288418709850612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224025164463388232.post-29208594283874261072009-10-15T21:43:54.520-07:002009-10-15T21:43:54.520-07:00This is very cool.

I believe you are exactly right that the ability to interact is a big plus.<br /><br />One mystery to me is why people who comment on the GT almost always use either no picture, or one that doesn't identify them They generally use made up user names as well. In such a small town it seems that it would make more sense to speak as a person instead of an anonymous entity. <br /><br />It will be interesting to see if commuter fans identify themselves or try to stay anonymous. Any trend so far?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607288418709850612noreply@blogger.com
