Here's what I don't get. Somehow attaining "Evangelist" status by typing "Kip Hawley is an idiot", "TSA sucks" and comparing any form of aviation security to the Nazis is considered a better contribution to FT than someone who can count to 100,000.

So if the rationale behind removing OMNI post counts is truly to keep people from reaching 10,000 posts from posting worthless things, why are the TS&S posts still counting?
