Post Why Have You Taken the Numbers Off?

Danny I know you are want, and entitled, to mess about with this site but I really think removing the postings count is a bad move.

What are your bona fides on an information medium where everyone is anonymous? Who can you trust? What's the point in participating in a conversation where there is no incentive for the participants not to lie if they are idiots? The answer is next-to-nothing.

Well now it is precisely nothing because a person can frivolously create a fresh identity any time he wants to say something. Before you could judge how much people were putting at stake by their postings count. Now you can't.

I think it's a bad move and I can't see why you've done it.
