I shouldn't have to explain why I want to question a decision that I, frankly, find capricious (not arbitrary, but capricious). And I shouldn't have to feel gratitude that someone doesn't pull the plug on OMNI or FT entirely. If that's what happens, it happens. Something would fill the void in the marketplace and in my life.

I've made my views quite clear in the now closed ORP thread and over in OMNI. (as an aside, RP basically telling a poster "I don't want you posting here" when he called him on previous conflicting statements really, really, really rubbed me the wrong way. I was reminded of the confrontation between Andy Dufrense and the warden in Shawshank Redemption that landed Andy a trip to the hole.)
If you're going to have a post count (whether it's on the normal thread view or relegated to the user profile page),
every post should count.
