I'd never noticed until you mentioned it today. That piqued my curiosity, so I took a look at IBD's posting history, and lo and behold, not a single reply to any comment, for as far back as I looked.
Perhaps the boss should temporarily suspend IBD's posting privilege, just long enough to send them a freepmail message that failure to participate with the community is frowned upon. Especially when a poster does nothing but post threads that point back to their place of work.
What's amazing to me, is how long this has been going on.
It’s hard to reach someone who never reads comments.
