Chapel Hill is in fact the third vertex of the Triangle. I also listen
to a station out of Chapel Hill (WCPE), both online and in my car ;-)
Pretty much everyone who matters (i.e. people in this area) knows what
"the Triangle" refers to. The local Linux UG is called TriLug, similarly
for the local Ruby Users Group, and so on.
I guess your specs would be consistent with the other lists that are
there. I can certainly live with what you suggest.
Thanks for your help on this.
