Yes it is a most totally and completely accurate gauge of how often someone visits and contributes to FlyerTalk. Who am I, or even you, to judge the value of their visit or contribution? We all come here and enjoy FT in our own fashion.

What each post by each poster says to me is that this person has chosen FlyerTalk as their cyber parking spot today. If they choose FlyerTalk as their cyber parking spot 10,000 times, I suspect they feel that it is their cyber home.

There was a time a few years back when a couple of FlyerTalkers rigged a way to accumulate thousands and thousands of posts without really posting at all. At the time if made me furious, but you know what, all that really says is that they knew lots of cyber tricks that I didn't know and used them to become FlyerTalk Evangelists because they cared about FlyerTalk. I am finally cool with that.

The bottom lline is that, with all of our individual warts, idiosyncrasies, scars, and pimples, we are here because we love FlyerTalk. I vote that we all just relax and learn to live and let live.
