No, the person who made this suggestion - me, as it turns out - is very interested in seeing the message traffic over there increase. I was a sysop on a BBS "back in the day" and I know that a simple way to do it is to make sure that IT topics go to the IT board.
It's not like the IT message board is hidden from anyone, for pete's sake.
And I am a J&J IT employee - and a stockholder too, thankyouverymuch.
