We welcome your participation in the ongoing conversation and hope to encourage a constructive dialog. We ask that when commenting you use a name that is close to your own. We appreciate it if readers refrain from posting under aliases, nicknames or multiple names.

It is our opinion that the use of real names will allow for a more authentic atmosphere. When using multiple names it is dishonest to other readers who assume they’re reading a conversation with many voices; while in reality it may be a few commentors using different aliases.

As always, thanks for reading,

The very savvy technologist Wayne Sutton runs a site called Local Conversations for our local NBC affiliate.  Among other things Wayne has been interviewing bloggers in the triangle. On Friday I will be a guest along with Jason Peck and Teri Saylor for a round table discussion with Wayne and some of the other NBC bloggers.  The video will be streamed from 12:15 - 1:00 pm here and then posted on Local Conversations.
