If I am not mistaken, the first time you post to any thread your post count increases by 1. After that additional posts to the same thread do not increase that number. If I am correct, then post counts are really thread counts.

In the end, I do not pay attention to the post counts either, but rather to the information contained in each post.

Personally, I read many other forums about miles and points, post when I have something to add in the way of cut and dry information, and enjoy the interactive chatting involving opinions (rather that factual info) on such forums as OMNI, Travel and Security, and Newstand.

It seems that OMNI is becoming the identified "bad hang out" here. A bit like the pool hall in the small town I grew up in. Somewhat naughty but not quite illegal. Of those who stayed away many did so quite conspicuously and often with their noses tilted a bit skyward. Oh, well.

Best wishes,
