Times are sorry when post count means more than merit and quantity reigns surpreme over quality. Have we degraded our values so heavily as to rely on a number to guage the contribution to society another can be praised for? Gone are the days of scholarlyness and the persuit of journalism. Replaced by the theory of numbers. A world duct taped together by calculations and figures actuated by actuaries with grim accuracy. Your dreams and potential a statistic based on your age group and vital signs. Amongst 1000 posts the skill of the poster matters less than amongst 10,000 posts. Increase your domain and subsequently the writers skill becomes a non-factor. The mundane and repugnant blend and average into a luke gray conciousness. The heart and soul depart the forums and all that is left is barren. The evils of post-whoring run deep and dark in our life style as online forum-goers. Unchecked it could reach epidemical proportions. I, for one, pine for a day where we no longer fear the sins of post-whoring in all it's incarnations and can break free of the shackles of this monster we create for ourselves, to plague ourselves.

Are you practicing for something, as you seem to making quite a few posts like this here and there....
