I don't post it as a pissing contest - rather the opposite, really. My view of its original intention was to embarrass the people who posted too much (myself included) in the context of the discussions we were having about high volume posting and its effect on conversation. I've used it as incentive, personally, to reduce the number of my posts and make each one more meaningful when I can.

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.

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.

Some people happen to find it interesting.
