Fare sales and the like should be in mileage running. Other Community threads have nothing to do at all with earning miles and points. Your argument is like saying threads about golf should count because some people travel to play golf and they earn points doing so.

You might not realize it, but a lot of threads in OMNI are about points, miles, and travel in general. This is particularly true if we're going to use the litmus test you're applying to CommunityBuzz: if something is tangentially related to miles and points, it should count.

Some examples in OMNI that should be counting according to your logic:

I could go on and on.
