Not in our industry. Not in a million years. The liability
issues arising from allowing the posting of unverified
information on a company-sponsored forum would be
potentially staggering. The only way such a forum
could possibly work in a "controlled" manner would
result in information someone posts becoming visible
to others only after it's been through six months of testing
and verification.
