"Colin" randomly hit the keyboard and
produced:

The supplemental question is... does the board need to be skimmed
afterwards? (I have had good success using tapered-edge and simply
painting
the boards after - I was wondering if skimming was a requirement for
building regs.)

Not skimming, but the joints should be taped and filled to seal the
gaps between the boards.

My BCO did insist on skimming as well as two thicknesses of plasterboard...
I'm not saying that she was correct and you're not! but just adding my
experience.
