As for your other questions... The tracking boards are useful for a few reasons. The first is to see new loglines coming out from repped writers. You get a good idea for what managers/agents are willing to take out publicly. Furthermore when one of those sells it's an indicator for what people in the industry currently want. Does that mean YOU should be following that / chasing trends? Not necessarily. Keep doing your own thing, trust your instinct. I will say that chasing trends isn't a terribly effective strategy for getting something sold. As for industry pros being secretive or public about tracking etc., that's a whole other aspect of it. Sometimes people want to be silent about things, keep it under the radar, sometimes people want to hype it up. It all depends on the people involved.
