DOTC: Hat Tip To Reporting Team

Dan of the County: Well done DFO. Since I’m on Dish out in the country I can’t watch it on TV. But your reporting in real time was almost like going back to a radio broadcast of a game before the TV editions. Good job to all those who contributed to both reporting on the scene and giving their comments along the way and in the post game show. This is a small slice of interactive democracy in action. I hope we see more of it.

DFO: My one regret re: my life as a blogger here @ HBO Central is that I’m tied to the desk from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. I have to feed the beast to keep this place hopping. And I’m fairly wiped out when I’m done. I’d like to get out more often but that would hurt the normal flow of posts. I miss the hands-on reporting. A lot. I thoroughly enjoyed myself last night as well as watching democracy in action — and reporting about it to you. In the day of the Internet, I was able to report fairly verbatim all that was said, rather than give you a filtered, scaled-down version in print this morning.
