sharkshooter....you probably don't really want to know what OMNI is but you'll be able to see the forum after 180 days as a FT'er....which you've already reached....and 180 posts.

My question - to those who favor change - would be, what has happened that a "need" has arisen to change the status quo (i.e., what "problem" has suddenly popped up out of the blue that has been created, in some way, by displaying post counts)? How would the change "resolve" the "problem"? Will this change improve the FT experience, have no impact, or will it detract from the FT experience?
FT, to date, has been pretty dang successful. I don't think we want to be tinkering frivolously or pointlessly with something that clearly works for the vast majority.

Post counts should go the way of the game winning RBI in baseball as they have about the same meaning.

For the record, GUWonder was at one time a prolific (in terms of volume) OMNI poster.
Some habits die hard.

The correct answer is that you found the thyme in the spice cabinet...
