I don't care about your post count. I would gladly reset mine if I could display a (-1) in its place. Or ∞. Or ∏. If post count was so important to me, I could've written a little script to post every 30 seconds for 10 days. I had 12 posts.

It's the message that post padding is OK sometimes regardless of the TOS or past practice that's annoying. Either eliminate all post padding or return OMNI to the way it was. Consistency may not be as catchy as "Blink!" but it sounds way better to me.

And to reply to the previous post: I am a customer. I've paid $12 to be a premium member of this site. Those who haven't are paying via watching paid ads. I am amazed that people feel that the customer should not comment when he/she feels something is not right. Strange business model, that.

That said, I think it's very nice that Randy bought tickets for the third winner. Randy is very generous and has done quite a lot for many members of FT. My point is not personal, just an observation. I would hope that Randy would appreciate all viewpoints, not just those that agree with him.

And I do not disagree all the time with Randy. Like most other places in life, it's only the disagreements that provoke commentary. The 90% of the time I think Randy's doing a great job don't get much time from me, and for that I can only say (sincerely) I'm sorry.
