Either that or many* people thought that you were a reasonable person and/or knew you from your posts. (*many is an infinitely tiny percentage of active FT members, isn't it?)

That's the second time Randy's actions have been brought up here. And I'm really not understanding your reference there. If you think there was a problem with his actions, why didn't you take it up with Randy then, or even now, you can still take it up with him. Or you can post little snipes like that if you really think that's the classy thing to do. (I wish we can just leave all this nonsense out of this thread. ok, maybe I should not have replied to this either.)

post padding?
Should you RBP yourself?
Anyway, this is such a minor thing, it really doesn't matter to me and as usual any opinion here is met with .. I don't know what to call it, Rich .. contempt? The thing is I really don't care one way or the other. No matter what the outcome, it's sure to be brought up again by the next talkboard and the one after that and after that and so on ... and in that case, it's not worth getting overly pedantic about it either way.

I know you are and I know you would.
You have to do what you think is right. I respect that. I may not agree with some of your opinions, but I still respect them because I understand your motivation.
I guess I don't look at post count the same way as others do. I don't think a huge post count automatically means that persons posts are trusted more or more likely to be correct than others or more likely to be an opinion I would agree with. Quality of posts, to me, is a much more important gauge and there's really no way to accurately measure that here. I think it was tried before and didn't work out.
