That's a different thing from what you have just implied it is.

In that case, the motion is an extremely silly one. Presumably Randy reconsidered his position several times already -- as recently as before making his latest post on the issue.
What TalkBoard should be doing is let Randy know what its advice on the issue is. Does it favor having Omni posts counted or not? Randy may not accept the advice but at least TalkBoard will have taken a position -- not just told him to "reconsider".

Jenbel, it looks like you are trying to have your cake and eat it, too.
On one hand, you tell me that I am misrepresenting the motion by saying that it recommends that Randy count Omni posts.
On the other hand, you say that it not only recommends that he reconsider but that it
also says Randy should "count OMNI posts".
With your latest post, I have to conclude that it actually is a motion which
includes a recommendation that Omni post should be counted -- hence, there was no misrepresentation by me earlier.
