PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

MOIRA — A man faces two felony charges after allegedly offering a product that he never delivered.

Malone-based State Police arrested Nicholas J. Brockway, 27, of 59 Pine St., Moira for allegedly selling computer servers that he didn’t deliver.

A police investigation found that Brockway, listed as president of the Jaguar Family of Companies, listed computer servers for sale on the Internet.

One company, Atlantix Global, based in Georgia, ordered 15 computer servers in August 2008 and paid a $25,000 deposit to Brockway. State Police said the company never received any servers.

The investigation also revealed Trinicomp Systems, based in Massachusetts, allegedly paid $3,500 for a computer server it never received, police said.

Brockway was charged Friday with two counts of third-degree grand larceny.

He was arraigned in Moira Town Court and sent to Franklin County Jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail.

The investigation is continuing.
