What is the point of showing post count?

I ask this because I hang around AT quite a bit, and it seems that there are a lot of people who post just to read their own messages. I realize this happens at every BBS on the internet, but maybe if AT dropped the post count under the name then the 'problem' would go away. If some people really set stock in their post count, as if it is a sign of how upstanding they are, then all they need to do is say useful/meaningful things and their name will be 'famous' anyways.


I dunno, what do you guys think. Ill see if I can get a poll set up (I have never tried to yet)

Also, I am not saying this b/c I have a low postcount or anything, lol, just wondering about whether everyone jealously guards their postcount as much as other people.
