The Calaveras Enterprise Web site has a new policy in place. Only comments using the full names of those making the comments will be posted. We want to model this online forum after our "Letters to the Editor" protocol, where a full name is required before being published.

Beginning Sept. 10 comments will not be posted without your full name and city or town. -Webmaster

Without accountability, democracy doesn't work!

" So why haven't some of my comments been posted? I have followed your protocol.

And hello to you, Ward La Valley.

You were just too far ahead in your thinking.

Dear Dickey What makes you think your comments haven't been posted? -Webmaster
