I don't agree with the above logic.
Whether you agree or disagree, as you have every right to do, those posts are facts. A post count is unequivocally a gague of how often a member visits and participates on FlyerTalk and how often they contribute.
Is it a perfect, flawless gauge? No, of course not, but it is the best gauge we have right now.
I personally just don't happen to be egomaniacal enough to think that I have the right to judge the value of other folks posts, nor do I know anyone else who IMHO has such flawless and perfect judgment that I would assign them that task. We are all individuals with different needs, values and ideas about what matters. If there are folks who like to play counting games, power to them. Seriously, what harm can it possibly do?
Typically TalkBoard does not initiate polls, but it is certainly technologically possible. Maybe this would be a good time to start a poll. As long as everyone understands that the results have no binding effect, it might be a good thing and provide
Randy with some very important feedback.
