    A Lexington attorney has filed a lawsuit over comments posted
    on a newspaper's Web site.

    The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that attorney Astrida Lemkins
    filed suit Monday against unnamed defendants who posted the
    comments on Kentucky.com. Lemkins says in the lawsuit that the
    comments were false and defamatory.

    She has subpoenaed the Herald-Leader to produce the e-mail
    addresses of any individual using the screen name that posted the
    comment.

    The newspaper said Wednesday the comments had been removed
    and the user name blocked from posting.

    The story that drew the comments involved Lemkins' representing
    of Steve Nunn, a former lawmaker who has pleaded not guilty to
    charges that he fatally shot 29-year-old Amanda Ross. Lemkins is
    no longer representing Nunn.

    Heard a lot about that lately. Facebook, youtube and several others are getting letters from attorneys. I have several saved emails from drunk postings, I wonder if that would work also?
