I don't think post counts are important.
I think what's important is a person's attitude and respect towards other people. I haven't post here all that much, but on another board I've been posting at for years, we had this discussion there, and I noticed that once I posted 35 times in a day, and for a 3 months period, not one.
It just depends on many things.
I don't mind the count being there, however.
I will just add that I like the wealth of knowledge and the mutual respect the folks around here have for one another.
I'm kind of starting to feel much more comfy visiting PT.
