Mark,

I agree with you in many ways.

I really get frustrated when reading a post and all I see posted are smileys or "I agree". In addition, there should be some rule against someone recycling one of their own posts to get attention.

But, on the other side, as a relative newbie, I do not know what all has been discussed on the board... and you never know when public opinion or information has changed, so "rehashing" some older subject can sometimes be valuable and worthwhile. Of course, it does not help that the search feature currently on Flyertalk is so useless and time consuming.

I wonder... if Randy eliminated the post count under each members' name, would the posts go down? I get a feeling some people are just posting to increase their numbers... or did I miss it? Do you get frequent flyer miles per post?
