In recent years, The Salt Lake Tribune, like all other respected newspapers, has given its readers several options for reading the paper: the traditional hard copy, an online facsimile, or an online HTML version. More and more readers are moving to one of the online versions. I am one of them.
One huge feature of the online HTML version has been the opportunity for readers to interact with articles by posting comments. I find that oftentimes these reader comments are more interesting and enlightening than the story or editorial they are responding to. This is especially true of Public Forum letters, which sometimes generate more than a hundred reader comments.
