Of course, jealousy is a very ugly emotion, which we should all strive to avoid, but IMHO those inclined to suffer from jealously for one reason will just turn around and find another reason to suffer jealousy once the first reason is removed.

Again, I don't think that "It's better for FlyerTalk" is a logical reason without explaining why, and how, it is better for FlyerTalk. I have been working hard to set rhetoric, history, and sarcasm aside and find some clear-cut, serious reasons for opposing OMNI posts counts.

Before I vote, I would really like to hear some substantive reasoning from those of you who are opposed to OMNI posts counting. Otherwise, I am swayed by the reasonable logical argument that a post is a post and, that since all a post count can indicate is participation in FT, they should all count.
