Not always a good thing.
And of course it is going to be up there if we even have threads telling us how many posts there have been (even though the information is clearly displayed on the home page).
Maybe we could have someone keep a running tally in here, adding to it and posting it after every post? It would, of course, double the post count. Hmm, would you have to tally up the doubles as well? Which would triple it I guess...
