See, you just just proved my point, how does that qualify it being a better post than in some other forum

Value the post for the message it has, not for the number underneath the person posting it.

Sure, it's nice to see that a person is "active", but just because of that, their word should not be taken as gospel.

I posted in OMNI quite a bit, and I can tell you, some information is just as valuable as some of the "lounge" threads in the airline forums. Just a place to discuss topics that concern you with people that have similar interests as you do "i.e. flying"

I value the opinions in OMNI, as I've been know to ask for assistance in that forum
