I know where Grumble's coming from, but (surprise) have a slightly different take.
Like the Monty Python song, every Post is sacred, a communication within a committed forum.
There is no "currency" of posts, no "exchange rate" between games posts and other forums.
Every post is one of our fellow Pixies putting out a thought or opinion for all to see
and respond to.
There is no pecking order based on posting numbers except in the heads of those who
perceive that there is.
Once, when all posts were "mainstream", posting stats were an indication of participation,
but now, it's an indication of postings.
Some of our longer term pixies may remember some people who started a 'yes/no hi/lo'
style thread and posted (swamped) a large number of posts in a very short time.
Ian, our status lies in the hearts of our friends here, and that's really all that counts.
