The fundamental issue (at least as I see it), is that a unilateral change was made without consulting the membership or the TB. In spite of the excuse that it was a "technical glitch" from 2004 being corrected, another member was able to locate posts that would indicate the 2004 decision had been reversed.

Furthermore, we've had a TB member go on the record in this thread as saying he would never suggest Randy change a decision unless he felt it was a "colossal blunder". Doesn't say much for doing your job of being elected to represent the members.

We also had a moderator basically tell people that if they disagree with any unilateral action, they should just get lost.

So for me, the fundamental issue is not the counting of OMNI posts, but rather whether we as the membership want to accept the behaivior exhibited by the forum administration and certain current TB members. I see this motion as taking a stand and making it clear that we don't appriciate unilateral action being taken without explanation (and I sincerely hope that at least 2/3 of the TB will have the guts to make that statement).
