Yeah, but in print publications there was at least some minimal amount of screening of letters/comments. I have been on "the other side" as an editor, and I always refused to print unsigned or "name withheld" letters to the editor, or even letters signed with something like "Concerned [Name of Town] Citizens." If John Doe and friends wanted to print a "concerned citizens" letter, at least one of their legal names had to be on it.

I really wish the Washington Post would moderate its online comments better. They get a lot of hateful crap that would never get onto the NY Times website.
