magicianampras, before you start thanking me, you might want to keep in mind that I am against this motion.
Where I disagree with Randy, however, is that I don't think he went far enough. Indeed, the motion which I made last year wasn't sufficient (as it was restricted only to Omni) but at least it was to stop counting the Omni posts retroactively. Randy has not done that.

Spiff, apparently quite a few people -- on both sides of this issue -- don't consider the matter relatively trivial.
Indeed, if I were on TalkBoard today and I saw from our internal discussions that my motion from last year had a chance of passing, I would make it again. If I saw that a stronger one did (discounting all posts from non M&P forums/threads), I would make that motion.
I would not have made the current motion but once it was made and seconded, I would have voted on it according to my own view of its merits.
As someone who has long been against Omni posts being counted, I obviously would have voted against it. I would hope that all TB members cast their ballots with that one question in mind: it it better for FT to count Omni posts or not?
