I don't think eliminating post counts is a good idea at all. While not telling everything about another member, it does tell us something.

One example, as moderators, we often come across spammers who register on FT to peddle their wares, post links to their porn site, or whatever. The low post count gives us a clue as to what they are doing on FT, enabling us to quickly come to the decision to pull the plug and delete all the posts.
