Post count, other than figuring out if someone is new to posting or not, is usually not much of an indicator of anything other than how many posts a person has. For example, Lynn Bodoni has a post count c. 2200, and handy has a post count approaching 13K, I think. It would be a mistake, IMO, to measure anything other than “how many posts has this person had?” by this number.

I met Kneal once. Nice guy. His brother Steev is okay too . . .
Tripler

That, is an anomoly. My argument is that the SDMB changes people. If a person has a high post count then they have likely been through the sdmb-mill. they have become at least a little bit more diplomatic, tolerant, respectful than they were before. Especially people who lacked those qualities before they joined the sdmb.
I was going to put the above expanation in the op, but for reasons I don’t quite know - I decided it looked better as
i misspelled that on purpose to help you all pad your postcounts. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
What’s a post count?
I’m new.
But I’m lkely to have more than a thousand within a month.
and why would I care?
and what is “padding”
You should care because I’m the king!
(I realize what you wre doing)
btw, I really like pie.
But the problem lies within the post count. Some people (sometimes newbies, sometimes just random lurkers) will say, “hey, poster XXX has X[sup]10[/sup] posts under his/her belt. This must mean something.”
And it really doesn’t. When you get down to brass tacks, it all comes down to quality, not quantity.
Like this post, for example.
