I didn't ask how to get out of the tickets; I didn't even complain that I got them, because even 1mph over is still speeding. I simply asked whether or not the IA ticket would count in IL, because I want to be fully informed about my status under the law. Generally, knowing such information is a good thing. How a simple question like that can be seen as trying to avoid the tickets, I have absolutely no idea.
This is the second time this has happened in the past month too. When I wasn't feeling well and asked for input, I still got a handful of posts telling me nothing more than to go to the doctor, despite the fact that the very first sentence of the thread indicated that I had an appointment for the next day.
Anyway, most of the posts here have been helpful and interesting, but that needed to be said. If I wanted to know how to get out of paying the tickets, I would have asked how to get out of paying the tickets. I didn't.

When you ask people on an internet forum a question that can very easily be answered with a simple phone call or when you ask for medical advice on the internet, do you really expect to receive anything worthwhile? That you get upset over getting responses you don't want
on the internet says more about your motives for posting rather than the reading comprehension skills of those responding.

I want to make sure that I only have one conviction in IL and not two. Unfortunately, traffic school isn't an option because I've had supervision in the past 12 months.

You got two tickets but only want one conviction out of it?
Instead of questioning my reading comprehension (no need to be coy and passive about to whom you were referring) you should ensure that your message is clear and consistent throughout a discussion. This would include not saying you want only one conviction to result from two offenses and then claim you weren't looking to avoid any consequences.
Of course, all this becomes moot if you just follow the speed limit.
