I'm inclined to vote "NO" as well, but with one caveat: if all those stupid "counting" and other post-padding threads could be made to not count (or better yet, disappear), then by all means, make the posts count. But I realize that this is not possible due to the software's limitations, as
SkiAdcock pointed out.
The funny thing is, I remember being outraged, OUTRAGED I tell ya, when the OMNI change was made years ago. Now, I don't want it changed back. I guess I just don't like change.
