Here is an example of why it is helpful to post problems on the board. Once this is reported by multiple people in multiple locations, it becomes clear that it is an AC system problem and not a local computer issue.
The board members are also providing an invaluable service to AC by giving them an early heads-up as soon as the problem surfaces so that their front-line staff can be alerted, their Ops and Dev team are made aware that they have a problem to fix, and your humble servant was able to spread some 'oil of comfort' on the water over the weekend while also pointing them in the direction of resolution.
Indy, it is kind of creepy that the "mothership" has its tentacles in our systems daily.
It is less creepy once you know that it is there, and if at some time future the call to the mothership becomes an issue, it is easy enough to disable.
