Deputies do check the admin board. How would posting on the admin board about something that no one but deputies or Dr. Bob could possibly answer due to the tecnical nature of the question be effective or efficient? If someone else was curious about what I was talking about, who's going to explain it to them? Why would that be desirable or necessary? What benefit could there be in posting questions or comments that are not relevant to board policies or the general experience of the boards in contrast to the extra time it might take to try to explain to someone else just what I was talking about when the other person has never seen it and does not use the feature?
There's something about this I'm missing here. I can't conceive of why anyone would WANT to read that stuff or what benefit there would be to opening it up to everyone when it doesn't apply.
> As we tend to say in philosophy: Be careful not to mistake a failure of imagination for an insight into necessity.Allright, plain speaking. In my experience working in a variety of organizations as an employee, volunteer, associate, student, beneficiary, etc., I have never encountered any large organization that functioned without at least two layers of structure. Call me unimaginative. I'll call it pragmatic and realistic.
