# of Posts, who cares?

[Lefty Scaevola]

. I have seen numerous post, some sarcastic, other no seeming so, that indicate that there is is some real status connected with the # of post. I am awarw of your "status" Warlord etc displayed next to your post, bust it has no value to me. Does anyone really take this seriously??

That's fair enough but there ought to be some sort of qualifier which would distinguish quality of contributions from just sheer bulk - a sort of signal- to-noise ratio.

Well I know one thing the post counts are good for.
They show us who doesn't have a real life and spends all their time here.

Its useful in some ways harmful in other ways... numbers are ok... but titles are when things start getting pushed in the opposite direction (ie spamming)... but its not my decision and I guess things are good the way they are so... whatever (ahh, the beautiful feeling of apathy )

. Being over 25 centuries old, rich, and semi retired, I have some time for frivolities.

. I am really interested in having someone? anyone? who truly likes and appreciates the post count ranking to post here and educate me abouy what they enjoy in it.

Strange how a newbie would know exactly what the controversial issues are here, and was smart enough not to risk his life posting thisin OT... very strange indeed.
