It is rare that I agree with the sentiments, anyway, underlying the way CP has in his always inimitable way expressed this, but for better or worse this is what Randy has set up and it may be worth trying to make it work and civilly suggest what are perceived to be improvements as we continue to get experience with the system. There may be room for exceptions or a tweaks as things move forward. But that's Randy's call. And, fwiw, he has also asked the moderators to institute two other policies (actually one is new, the other simply a clarification of across-the-boards FT practice/TOS); those can be found here:

and the Coupon Connection FAQ (which by the way, does try to take a balanced view of the notion of "post count") reflects those new realities and can be found here:
