\"\"<\/a>Effective immediately, this site\u2019s comments system has been reactivated. There are a couple of changes you should know about: <\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\u2022 You must now have a Google account to submit comments for publication. If you don\u2019t have an account, you can create one by clicking here<\/a>. It\u2019s free and easy. After you do that, you\u2019ll be able to submit comments the same way you did before, with one exception: Underneath the box where you enter your comment, you\u2019ll have to enter your Google username and password.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\u2022 If you know of anyone who is impersonating someone else through this site\u2019s comments system or otherwise abusing comments, you can report it to me through a new Web page you can reach by clicking here<\/a>. That link, which you\u2019ll also find at the end of individual postings and on the pop-up window for submitting comments, takes you to a form that allows you to remain anonymous or include your name and e-mail address if you want to be contacted.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The changes were necessary because I learned a couple of weeks ago that someone was impersonating a Las Cruces couple, apparently with the intent of trying to discredit certain political groups by submitting comments that made those groups\u2019 members \u2013 and that couple in particular \u2013 appear to be extremists or nutcases. You can read more about that by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Requiring you to register in order to submit comments means you have to provide some sort of identifier \u2013 your name or whatever you choose \u2013 that will be attached to your comments. That means you can still chose to not reveal your name, but it also gives me a way to contact you and, most importantly, allows me to ban you from using the site\u2019s comments system if you abuse the privilege of participating in the discussion.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Before you begin submitting comments once again, please take a minute to read this site\u2019s comments policy<\/a>. If you have any questions, e-mail me at heath@haussamen.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Let the discussion begin again. Please try to keep it civil. And don\u2019t impersonate other people.<\/p>\n
