How? Because it's quite obvious that the opinions of 56 people don't necessarily represent the wishes of over 377,000 members. The TB members have to vote their conscience as well as taking into consideration the wishes of the members. The majority of those against this proposal have expressed the completely nonsensical opinion that they are against OMNI posts counting because they want post counts to ONLY reflect the amount of travel knowledge shared by a member. It has been demonstrated numerous times that there are countless posts (and entire threads) in the main section of FT that are not travel related. So, as it is now, posts count do not, in any way shape or form, represent only a member's travel related knowledge shared. I applaud the TB members who discount these nonsensical opinions and choose to go with common sense instead.
