How do you folks feel about the blatant inconsistency we have here? Randy has given his opinion (it's not inconsistent because the forums that don't count are the ones that have a threshold to reach before accessing them: OMNI and Coupon Connection). What are your opinions on this issue?

It would be most edifying for me to hear very specific answers to these questions. Thank you.
There seems to be a lot of unanswered questions from the anti-OMNI post count folks, Punki. I, too, would like to hear their specific answers.
