I second and second.

I know for sure this is not the 1st (see a recent example from 12/31/07:
here) nor the last time TB goes against
Randy's decision/desire/wishes. That's a beauty of democracy. If everybody thinks alike, there will be no fun in our FT world.
However, doesn't our new TB have better proposals or motions to consider, so our FTers' post counts can REALLY carry a meaning (or be improved), instead of focusing on one specific item/forum? Since we already knew where Randy stands on this subject, why not giving him a better thought-through advice from
this TB?
I am quoting the above example from
Randy's response with some revisions (replacing VX) :
"if this Board wanted to really make an impact, why focus on OMNI post count, why not for the sake of the future of FT, take the time and examine what measures might be implemented for actually determining what post counts in FT fora should be or mean?"
I expect our TB to be less tunnel-visioned. I urge
this TB to take a bolder move: table this current proposal/voting/motion.
If our TB insists putting post counts on the table, what about a better put-together proposal/motion, such as the following one? Can
this TB put things in
a broader perspective on post counts per se?

Come on! I know you guys can do better than your current one.
