justa_bean_counter's response to trex's question is not surprising but quite funny:
"In my opinion...
1 - They are?In class prepping for the open medical sign up period
2 - They are NOT being moderated
3 - They are hanging around the retiree board
4 -?Remember, it's always darkest before the dawn

I see that trexibmer wants to know:
"Where did all the CA's go from this board? Did IBM RA you?"
Two possible explanations:
1. The ibmpension moderators are choosing not to approve posts unless they are authored by a member of the disgruntled IBM community.
2. The posters who have been referred to as CAs are tired of being called CAs and have decided not to bother responding to trex, primos, the Dons, or any of the other disgruntles.
In either case, what will the disgruntles do if their opportunities to counter dry up?
