Generally, no.... It would clutter up the forums if we allowed every member to do this with every thread they thought "of interest" to members of other forums. If you have one, single forum that you consider your "home" forum, we can make a one-time exception and allow a posting to that single forum that references the new thread.
You are also more than welcomed to reach out to some members privately (via PM) you feel might contribute to such a discussion.
