Should posts in the parking lot count towards total post counts?

Well if I was new to a message board and that sort of thing happened, I'd just chalk it up to the fact that all boards have members who contribute, and then other members who are a-holes that make stupid posts all the time. I can't say that's how everyone would perceive that situation though, although most people with common sense probably would. If the majority of the board was a breeding ground for stupidity (such as an Eagles message board. I kid, I kid) and it seems like there isn't anybody there that doesn't make ridiculously stupid posts I'd probably leave that board though.
