Paul Klocko got a surprise in the mail in April: a letter on official stationary from Weston, Wisconsin administrator Dean Zuleger, demanding that Klocko stop posting comments on the web criticizing him.  The letter also asked that Klocko "come out from behind the cloak" and meet Zuleger in person.


The letter was surprising because Klocko had posted his comments on the web site of the Wausau Daily Herald using a pseudonym, "juanmoore."  But when Zuleger contacted the newspaper, demanding that it identify his anonymous critic, the Daily Herald gave him Klocko's real e-mail address, which Klocko had provided when registering as a commenter on the site and which contained his true name.
