Will see what I can do - people get ego out of a lot of things - some are inconsequential

eg - last Friday I dropped Helen off to pick her car up from being serviced. As I was on the way to a local car club run I dropped her off in the XP. The customer service desk for both Ford and Hyundai is inside the Ford showroom. I drove out the back, turned around and drove back out the gate (between the dealerships). The staff all came out of their offices of both showrooms and were asking 'Who owns that? I wonder if they would sell it?" while Helen and the service manager grinned. I even stopped a salesman mid-spiel. I am quite proud of that effort.

The point is people take pride in the things they do, some are competitive and need to make a competition out of eating dinner, drinking, spending the most on their restoration etc. Post Count is just another one

...people should never confuse the difference between pride and ego...pride is usually justified...ego is corrosive crap!

...and thanks bparo .. a fitting first post

Why dont we get rid of posts all together then it's done.

I can "get rid of posts altogether" by deleting the whole forum if you like!

If its the post count you are talking about look at reply #34 in this thread

Hi,

Post counts are useful (to a certain extent) in that it at least gives us "know nothing eggs" some idea as to who's opinion (for the most part) might be worth listening to.
i.e. a credible source vs some blow in-muck raking-newbie-trouble maker, with no long term stake in the matter.

just saying,

P.S.
