Generally speaking, one has to deal with the TSA daily/weekly/monthly in the act of chasing miles and points. I cannot recall having to count backwards from 10 million, or things of that nature, in the effort to run up miles/points/status/upgrades and such (except to calm my nerves after having dealt with the very same TSA behavior I was prewarned about in TS/S).

With that said, you will note that when I broached the notion of going even further than Randy has, one of the biggest discussion (indeed, I even broadened my own horizons on the subject) was what constitutes a "non mile/point" forum.

I'd much rather be having that debate rather than kicking around the notion that Randy has deprived someone of the psychological (and matching post-count) thrill of running up thousands and thousands of posts in OMNI.

Indeed, that was your thought on the subject as well as I read it.

In other news it's official--the world will now end because ozstamps, dovster, and I are seemingly in agreement on something.
