I've been here for over 3 years, and have spent a lot of time helping others in the tech forums. My count is representitive of the time I've been here, and the help I've tried to give, not a goal or a contest.
Kaspar, I know you mean well. We've spoken on the phone, and I know you're a good guy that has a real interest in Mustangs. I also know you don't just come here to build up your post count, but most of the other people here don't know that, because they don't know you as well as I do, and to some, that's what it looks like you're doing. There's been a lot talk recently about the whole post count "thing", and the fact that some members seem to waste time and space just to increase their count. In fact, it has become such an issue that suggestions have been made to remove the count all together. Some of us find benefits in having the count visible, other than just bragging about who has more than who, and don't want to see it removed. When you start a thread to announce your reaching another 100 posts, it doesn't sit well with a lot of the members, and you are likely to recieve some flack for it.
You can continue to do as you like, but I have a feeling that perhaps you didn't realize that this had become an issue. I enjoy your threads, and am not trying to talk you out of starting threads, or replying to others, I'm just suggesting, as a friend, that you think about them a little bit before you do.
Take care,
~Chris
