Moose Vehicle Collisions and Media Website Comments

The anonymous commentators on media websites are usually more interested in making unreasonable, nonsensical and often downright malicious comments, than they are in saying something sensible.

At least one prominent exception appears in the comment section of Friday's story in the electronic version of The Telegram, "Expert appalled at inaction on moose-vehicle collisions".  It goes like this:

John MacKey - Reducing speed in known moose areas will not prevent moose/vehicle accidents, although it may be a prudent thing to do to reduce deaths. I was driving between 75-80 kilometres per hour, a moose came out of the ditch, totaled my car, broke my wrist, and I credit the child car seat for saving my three year old grandson.  I restrict myself to daytime driving now. MOVE on it Dunderdale!

A reasonable comment.  But notice that this commentator did not hide behind anonymity - he used his name.
