I see consistency as the biggest issue. Your point about "YHPM" posting is a valid one, but we currently count any number of similar posts in other forums. Why should we treat posts in Coupon Connection any different than OMNI or the TB Topics forum, or any of the Support & Services forums, and so on? If we are going to count them in one place then we should count them everywhere. If we think that certain posts in certain forums don't further the "FT cause", then lets develop some set standards to apply. And then apply them across the board, not just in one forum.

Note that this is a completely different issue of whether posts in OMNI, TB Topics, Support & Services, etc should or shouldn't count. Right now they do and CC posts don't. And the question is why the difference?
This summarizes my reasons quite well.

Based on the recent vote, I would expect that all posts should count.

I am all about consistency.
