I did some checking today -- I have 16,801 posts on non M&P forums (not counting the private TB forum). In addition to that, I have 1918 posts on the Delta Forum Lounge Thread and 635 on its predecessor, the Unabashed Cholula Spam Thread. That is a total of 19354 posts which had nothing to do with showing someone how to get a better and/or less expensive trip.

(As I don't have access to the private TB Forum anymore, I don't know how many posts I have there, but I would not be surprised if they represent another 500-1000 of my total.)

If someone is judging my expertise in the core issues of FT based on the number of posts I have, wouldn't it make more sense not to mislead him with the roughly 20,000 posts that shows up in my count?

As a former TalkBoard member who has been posting on this thread and urging that no non M&P posts be counted, I would tumble from having double Evangelist status to a post count total of roughly 3,000.

Please explain to me how I am targetting "other FTers (and other FTers' post counts)."
