[Foundation-l] Top posters

[Nathan]

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.
