The issue at hand is whether or not to count Omni posts in an overall users post count? What's the big deal about post count anyway? What impact does it's existence have anywhere, including FT? What if "post count" under a person's name disappeared entirely? Would it matter?

I've read through most of this thread and can't figure out what the fundamental issue is. Can someone explain to me why this is an issue?

Is it that people are wasting their time and flooding Omni by creating useless threads that clutter Omni to make them feel important for having a high post count?
