A Quick Clarification on the Comment Policy

A station break:

This is a reminder and clarification of the Commenting Policy here at Blog-Lebo. When opinions are running hot and heavy, commenters are sometimes prone to taking a shortcut here or there with respect to our bedrock principle:

Sign your full name.

If you post a comment and it doesn't appear on the site, then it is almost always the case that you haven't identified yourself adequately.

If you have a Blogger profile and log in to Blogger before commenting, that will do fine -- so long as your Blogger profile is displayed publicly. A couple of people submitted comments recently under "private" Blogger profiles, and they are in the process of changing their Blogger settings so that everyone can see who they are.

Some folks have taken to signing their first initials and last names (and in one or two cases, first name and last initial), and we've published those comments, because we know who you are.

But it's time to restore some consistency and tighten things up just a bit:

When you comment, please post your full first name and your last name. Typing your full name at the bottom of your comment is fine. Even if you've commented previously under a short form of your name, we're likely to reject new comments that aren't posted under your complete names.

Thanks for your understanding. We'll now resume regular programming, already in progress.
