Can't we sort of restrict participation of the employees of companies A and B
:-) to a certain area, say employees of company A or B can only answer
questions about products A or B respectively if this questions are from the
range "How do I do this or that?". We ( I say "we" because people from the both
companies claim that it is a "user-driven forum") can lift the ban for a month
or so and see what happens.
