My first reaction is, "I wouldn't be surprised if that were true, one of the past criticisms of the TalkBoard was

There are nine members of the TB. Two have not posted to this forum in months. Four rarely post in this forum and solicit feedback even less. Two post frequently and solicit feedback frequently. One posts very frequently and about 50% of those posts are condescending and abusive.
Which category do I fall in?
I think it is very fair to label this as a secretive TB.
Fair enough, I suppose we'll just disagree on that, if only because the results of votes are now posted nearly in real-time with full roll call details -- an improvement over past practice -- and because the TalkBoard had once imposed a virtual gag order, a practice that I was critical of and pushed to change from the very beginning of my service.
