After last month's top-posters list was released, I sent the following e-mail to Michael and Adhair, our moderators of the list. I wasn't even given a reply, so I thought asking this publicly might spark some discussion as to why exactly this thread on "top posters" continues to exist.
This was one of a great many e-mails I received suggesting that this or that thread be killfiled, and to be frank, I ignored them all. It definitely wasn't personal.
As for posting post counts, I honestly don't consider it disruptive. Personally, I kind of like it—seriously, guys, do you have to weigh in on every thread? I'm not saying your posts have negative value—in fact, they're often insightful—but they'd count for a lot more if you only posted when you had something really good to say.

Question:
Given the recent increase in moderation on this list (which I have to applaud, thank you), might I suggest this be added to the killfile? It does nothing to promote discussion and effectively makes posting into a pissing contest. Thanks.

Thanks for any comments anyone can put in.
