By the way, what happened to your post count?

I reset it back to zero and will continue to reset it there periodically.

As you may know, I find the post count a distraction on many levels and I believe that some members have made it way too important.

Since I don't think Dan has any intention of removing it (would be a programming hassle) I decided to put my conviction into action and reset my count to zero. For those who thrill at having a high post count, this will give the them the opportunity to be top dog in that department, for whatever that may do for them. I just don't care all that much. Never did.

I contend that the content and quality (or lack of same) in my posts will quickly be evident to any newbies and that a post count won't be necessary. Just my personal observation and it doesn't apply to anyone else of course but as I had near 6,000 posts, I thought it would make a point...and I can always reinstate my post count if I choose.
