It's funny...the only time I notice a post count is when someone is trolling and I see how long that person has escaped mod attention..other than that not much at all.
Some people seem to care...not that there is anything wrong with that; but I'm perfectly happy having the low number I have now instead of counting the 8,000 or so (best guessstimate) post I've actually made.
How important is your to you?
Other peoples?
Would you take your number to zero on purpose like I have?
Am I silly for doing so?

This creates a logical pardox. If I reply then my post count goes up which may make it seem that I care more about my post count than I might. I

Mine could be set to zero and I wouldn't care one bit. Things like that really don't matter to anyone I don't think.

To me, it's just a number telling us how skilled we are at making posts.
Or a reminder of how little a life I have....
I forgot which.

Or a reminder of how little a life I have.... yeah, that one is probably the better answer. i have spent waaay to much time on this forum for my own good.

Go with the little life thing. That seems to work.

I don't try to jack up my count, but I always think it's cool when I move up to a new level.

I don't really care at all about my post count. I mean if we got prizes or something for every 1,000 posts, then I'd probably give a damn.

What would make you care less? It's just a meaningless number. I don't hold anyone with 10000+ posts in a higher regard than I do someone with 15.

I'm not overly concerned with it. Nor am I overly concerned with the fact that everyone who posts in this thread will probably have our post counts reset to zero!

You see, he possibly couldn't care less where as I possibly could. Is your mind blown yet?

Or a reminder of how little a life I have.... I forgot which. Dammit! Stole my answer. I don't use it as leverage or status or anything. But I do think its nifty just to see how many posts I've personally made. So as a personal reminder, yes, I think its cool, but I don't try and make it seem like I'm cool or anything.

I gave up monitoring post counts years ago. I let my statements stand on their own merit, not on how many hours I spend here.
