I do not want post counts removed for the reason eloquently stated by gleff. In the past two days, I have responded to three posters on their first or second post specifically because they are brand new to FlyerTalk. We need to welcome newcomers, not immediately barrage them with nitpicks on the information they provide - and without that post count, I'd have no reason to believe they are new.
