DISQUS

Thanks for the kind words Mark. We're still getting our blogger legs under us, but its nice to know someone out there likes what we've done so far. I must say we did a little high five last week when you added Buzzboard to your blog roll. Quite frankly getting some airtime on your site is one of the best ways to raise awareness for what we are doing since you have such a large readership.

Fearless and brilliant are certainly heroic qualities to be sure, and I too applaud him.

He isn't shy to lock horns with sophists at a level far beyond mere tech heads which indicates to me they may be very upper management. that are concerned with Nortel branding and views expressed in, or surprisingly outside of, his blog.

Congrats to the both of you, you are many people's heros.

Reality and the truth is often elicited by balancing the consensus or differing views that are minimally very interesting, short of outright fascinating to many in this saga.

Thanks to the both of you for allowing us to romanticize our humble opinions on your ever so superb soap boxes, unlike the totalitarian Roman Empire with no fear of executing the bearer of bad news=) The blogs are ultra informative that allow for rare input that may otherwise go unnoticed. The moral majority stands united and honesty draws no fire here.

I am sure many greatly appreciate these blogs and have the greatest respect, admiration, and affection for the both of you.

congrats fellas!

my question is; are Mark and Bo opening comment up to outsiders? I guess they are, but the site seems to be caternig more to the employees (most seem to busy or too fearful to post).

It reminds me of the "gossip" site BNR used to have on the IBM 3270s (circa 1980) If you are in fact asking for outside opion, I agree hats, off. Your site is opening the windows to fresh air.

Absolutely Buzzboard is open to comments from people outside Nortel. We want your comments and your feedback.

Bo,

Thank you. I hope you have a thick skin, and some asbestos underwear

I suspect it might become a "honey pot" for comments. Unfortunately mostly negative. I hope that the company has the fortitude to take the criticism. IMO a lot of it is very valid.

It might allow people to vent and get legitimate answers, so I think the blog is ultimately a good idea.

LOL ...

Talk about fiddling while Rome burns.
