Kudos to Nancy Abell in the Office of Administration and Finance forsuggesting the Insights Community Forum discussion board, now available onBlackboard. Nancy wondered about the feasibility of an electronicversion of the bulletin board that used to hang in a central location inmany large companies, where notices could be posted of employees in thehospital, births, event tickets for sale/wanted, employees looking toshare interests (getting a bowling team together). Thanks to John Fritz,we now have a place to discuss these topics.
