Now I'm confused

It's the implied message that OMNI is a lesser forum than others. I love OMNI and feel it's as much a part of this community as any other forum. By eliminating post counts, Randy has told people who frequent OMNI that their presence is less welcomed or less valuable. Other people feel differently, but that's how I feel about it and why it matters to me.
That said, I wouldn't care if all post counts were eliminated. At least then all forums would be treated equally again.
