What is published in the print edition of the newspapers, editors insist that those who write publish under their own names. That is at the discretion of the editorial board. On the other hand, forums, blogs, message boards have never required that anyone publish under their own names, since people could opt for screen names instead. What Hartgen thinks would only affect Idaho, and presumably only Idaho bloggers, would have far more impact on the WWW as a whole. CBS News blogs that have anonymous posters could have as much of a legal problem with such legislation as say message boards or blogs on the Washington Post. Not only does Hartgen not understand what he is demanding, but he also acts completely ignorant of the entire Internet itself.
