Think of it as 'dispensing useful advice' instead and live an easier life

In all seriousness, though, there are only a few things more annoying than seeing someone post useless drivel just so that he can see a number go up, thinking that the number will gain him more respect than the useless drivel will cost him.

No, you misunderstand, it's not an attack on Grimar, it is a clarification that high post account is nothing to strive for. I am sorry if it sounded as if it was targetted at Grimar, it was only targetted at the reasoning "boosting my post count". You in the sentence "nobody care about you having 1500 posts of useless content" was not you as in Grimar but you as in all of you, equivalent to "nobody care about one having 1500 post of useless content".

View as a piece of information

A little misunderstanding both ways.

Maybe so, but the misconception of post-count = status symbol needs to die. Don't say that there's no such misconception as the three post-farming threads that are currently on the first page say otherwise

Wait - you mean that all my work has been for NAUGHT? OH, CRUEL, CRUEL WORLD! *Sobs* Confound it all!

That's a really interesting idea, Lou - eliminating the post count...not a bad one, either! I honestly don't think it'd serve to hinder the dynamics here at all (but then again, I AM just recently "promoted" from "newbie-dom" (or at least I'm pretending I am), so maybe my conceptions on this matter aren't entirely accurate).

I drink until it's all amusing personally, but that's just me.

My Profile is updated

I feel like it's hard to get to know someone if I don't know what they look like. (I need to post a pic)

No, some people are visual learners and need something visual to associate with most things in their lives.
