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.
