My reading of the "original issue" was that an individual who
worked in a software company was unhappy because there
was no industry category that he deemed suitable for his,
including "IT." This view probably falls into your #3 response
group, but in the absence of any responses from people
saying that they too work for software companies and feel
that they are a part of the "IT industry," I'd say his view wins.
