Thanks for testing the water as of January 2012. Shall we open our diaries and select a date for January 2013 so we can revisit this subject once again?

However, if the FT World doesn't fall apart due to Omni posts counting in the next year I'd probably mark that date with a pencil.Cheers.

What worries me, seriously worries me is that TalkBoard is incapable of committing to decisions of its own making. I disagree with the premise this motion overturns a decision taken by Randy several years ago because this motion was worked upon at great length and voted upon by TalkBoard only 6 months ago, thus superseding Randy's earlier decision.
The result of this motion as an isolated vote is inconsequential to me. Sadly however, the ongoing pantomime whilst entertaining to some will cause others to question whether TalkBoard has outlived its purpose. If this votes proves anything, it is TB is telling our community it is no longer relevant. It pains me to say this, but that's the way I see it.

You said it well. This was all an experiment in petty infighting and personal vendettas. It was disheartening to see how many here had personal scores to settle as the discussions went on.

Don't worry, I am confident the FT world is perfectly secure. My position on post count has always been one of ambivalence. To me, its all terribly trivial and I prefer to engage with fellow members based on the merit of their contribution rather than their post count.

I'm very surprised it passed 7-2. I was expecting 5-4 or even 6-3. Shows what I know!
