And then
Dovster can go around telling everyone he has been appointed a moderator and to cut the crap out, and no one will know whether it's true!

^^ While I will say that post counts can have sometimes (often, even) very little correlation with authority, I am not in favor of removing post counts whatsoever. Your post touches one of the major reasons why. It's an integral part of the FlyerTalk experience and has pretty deep meaning to many people.
