Except this isn't about post counts, at all. It never has been. Some of the folks in favor of this are trying to veil this as such, nothing could be further from the truth.

Virtually every poster that I have seen who is opposed to this measure has stated that if this declassification were applied in a unilateral fashion to all non-travel related fora; they would support this measure. In fact, that is how this measure was presented by a "regular member." It was the talkboard who elected to modify the content to facilitate passage (in his opinion). What does that tell you? It makes a glaring statement that this is not about the counts, at all. There has to be an ulterior motive.

What this is about is few people who think that anything non-travel related detracts from the purist ideology that FT is a travel forum and that is the only thing that is relevant. Community be damned.
