Comments and Letters

As previously mentioned,  most articles contain a link at the bottom that allows you to comment on that article, or to build on or respond to other readers' comments. 

That is, at the bottom of the article text, there is smaller, bolded text that says "add new comment," or, if someone has already begun commenting on the piece, "1 comment."  Click on this text and you will get a form that allows you to enter your own comment about the article, or about what others have had to say.

NOTE: There is a software glitch that causes some people to think they haven't submitted their comment when they have, sometimes resulting in the same comment being entered multiple times.  This happens because once you have submitted the comment, you are left in the comment editing form, rather than to a screen with your finished comment.  We are working to fix this problem.

Please feel welcome to join your neighbors in these little coffee-clatch discussions. 

Unregistered visitors may feel free to offer comments by supplying their name and email address in the comment form. The name you supply will be displayed with your comment, but the email address will not. We require this information only to avoid spammers. If you wish to make your email address public, you can do so in the text of your message.

There is also a Letters tab at the top of the page that allows you to read and write letters to the editor, but you may only write letters if you are a registered user. You may, however, comment on others' letters even if you are not registered.  Use the same technique as mentioned above, i.e., click on the text that says add new comment at the bottom of a letter.

Note:  Comments and letters may be reviewed by Dunstable Commons prior to their publication, and may not display immediately after submission. We ask for your patience.
