I always viewed my post count as a badge of how much time I waste on the net and have made several offers in several forums to donate my post count to anybody who wants them. Obviously, this never happens, but still I hate having a post count simply because it's a blatant reminder that I waste too much time on forums.
But I also know that I am in the minority on that one. I don't care so much about rep points either. I enjoy the rep comments moreso than the actual number of points.
Speaking of post counts, I've noticed that Angela hasn't been posting recently (and since I tend to enjoy her posts, I noticed after a couple of days that something was...missing). Upon inspection of her profile, I noticed her post count is 11,110 and I figure she must be one of those people who go Ga-Ga over certain numbers and get hung up on it.
So this is a post if she's lurking to abandon such silly notions and post more nuggets of wisdom for us. If you're out there, Angela, just know that every second you waste on your 11:11 synchronicity is one second you waste towards reaching new, even cooler synchronicity at an even higher post count.
