Yes, along with the number of posts per stifle. They serve no purpose. |

No. It's a badge of honor for some folks. |
| John the OFM | 08 Aug 2011 6:12 p.m. PST |
NO for either. Or both.
I worked hard for both.  Why do so many people feel a need to interfere with how *I* enjoy my TMP experience? To YOU they serve no purpose. Who are you? Answer? You are not me. The "posts per stifle", before Dear Editor introduced it (WITHOUT a Poll, I might add), was a stupid harebrained idea of mine, which I called the "Cuddly factor". I am at an even, more or less, 500. What that means, I have no clue, but it is my PRECIOUSSSSSSS!!!!!! Basically I am saying that that statistic is meaningless, but I like it. EDIT. That ratio was correct, until some feckless goombahs unstifled me. Now, it is just a number. *groin* |

Now, if YOU want to make more work for Dear Editor and arrange things so YOU can't see the numbers, I am OK with that.
But I do not agree with removing it universally, merely because it upsets YOU to see it. We seem to be entering the Differential Calculus mode of TMP Statistical Disgruntlement. |

They serve no purpose. They most certainly do. I use them as a barometer to determine the snarkyness of the posts I do not actually submit. |

Yes make it go away. Useless number that drives some people to post every random though that gets stuck between their ears. |

Je suis d'accord avec l'OFM; perhaps a feature that might disable it for those who wish not to see it. …And then on the plus side we can all regurgitate one of the usual helpful offerings along the lines of of "you do not have to look at it". Ahh. The joy of bitterness. |

Post count is sometimes useful for sniffing out sock puppets. |

If we are going for bells and whistles, can we have a short cut button for 'John the OFM, stop being a complete  '? (btw, that bleep is spelt Tango Oscar Sierra Sierra Echo Romeo) |
