As in " **I** have **ever how many posts** …and you don’t. Or do you just post when you really have something to add? Is post count really the standard you use to judge posters?

i find it really silly when people put the importance of a post count over the importance of a quality post.
post count padding is for the birds.

My post count is not important to me at all. In fact, I haven’t posted in months because I had nothing of value to offer. If you don’t have anything worthwhile saying, then don’t post. It is anoying to read irrelevant posts.

Generally post counts don’t matter. However, I am suspicious of somebody who has several hundred in the course of a month or two.

Either that, or you don’t read much. 😃
Just look below your name to the left of the message.
Post counts don’t count to those lowly ones that have less than 1000. :D:D

Oh I happen to read quite a lot – books, newspapers,
and – if I can spare the time from my busy, fulfilling
LIFE – the SDMB. 😛

A high post count is a lot like a car: If you have one, you absolutely must have the best one. If you don’t have one, you can’t comprehend those who do. Just take it in stride.

First, I gotta send some "wise guts"after AWB. Then I gotta tell everybody about it. Lotsa times.
Ain’t really worried about capacitor yet, but he better watch out. 🆒
