Bizarrely, those with the biggest post counts were also those with the largest 'rep' tallies. Strange that.
Hey look - I've almost got 10,000 posts wooo hooo....

I take on board what you're saying UB, however surely this importance and superiority is self proclaimed and self perceived. I think it is perhaps if I may be so bold as to say an inferiority complex on the part of those with low post counts, who feel that those with larger post counts are being bullies. Surely a well written and appropriately worded rebuttal will have the desired effect regardless of post count. It has to be said those with large post counts also have a better grasp of written English and perhaps a better ability to gain the upper hand in 'write offs' against one another. Irrespective of post counts the ability to be able to reason, discuss and argue effectively will be what wins ultimately, post counts notwithstanding.

It's not the size of your post count, it's what you do with it. The GF often makes a similar point whilst referring to my tiny *****.

I always got the impression that as a rule, post count was inversely proportional to brain size (naming no names)
