And does the fact that you care about your post count make you somehow more passionate about FT and more worthy than me, who find attachment to post count mildly distasteful and who only sees some sense in post count if it actually serve a useful purpose?
why should either of us squash each others passion (perceived or not)? Is the count hurting you or infringing on your rights? Because you find it distasteful, others should be denied something they are passionate about?
As I said earlier, post count is the only metric currently active on FT that even remotely conveys ones passion. Of course I'd prefer better ones, but until that comes along...
