A Special Note from the Editor
Dear Readers,
Beginning Monday, August 25, people who comment on articles published on News from Cornwall and Cornwall-on-Hudson automatically will be identified by their first and last names, rather than by screen names.
Why the change? The goal is to improve the quality of the debate about important issues facing our communities in greater Cornwall. In the past, some anonymous comments targeted individuals unfairly or spread rumors that had no basis in fact. These comments did little or nothing to contribute to an open discussion of ideas and practices.
Many people who comment on the site already use their real names. If you want to be sure that your name is correctly written on a comment, you should check the information on the page that appears after you log-in as a user of the site. If you have never entered that information, now is the time.
Of course, the system is not foolproof. People who are concerned about protecting their identities can still do so. I expect that most site users will want to comment openly and help create a dialogue among neighbors that can serve to enhance the community.
Sincerely,
Nancy Peckenham
Editor
