Are you obsessed with your WebmasterWorld post count?

(I seem to be)

Due to a error on my part, I had to ask the moderators of the WebmasterWorld AdWords forum to remove four (!) duplicate posts (don't ask) in one thread - which they very kindly did, in a matter of minutes.

I have to say, I pay pretty close attention to my post count - and I noticed that while my actual posts were deleted, my post count still gave me un-earned credit for all four of those no-longer-existent posts. Crazy though it might seem, this bothered me.

Turns out there was no way to adjust my count downwards - but Brett and jatar_k jokingly (I think) suggested that I post here in Foo, where the posts are not counted, to even things out.

Bingo! So here I am posting in Foo, maybe for the first time ever. I can't remember for sure.

Nice place.

Anyway, this whole series of events made me realize that I am always aware (within one or two) of what my WebmasterWorld post count is. Does this make me obsessed? Or, does this make me normal?

Is anyone else so proud of posting on WebmasterWorld that they always know how many times they've done so? And (here's the telling question) do you every mention that number to your colleagues?

I'm betting yes - but I'll be interested to see. Am I alone in my obsession, or do others feel the same way?

I am neither proud or embarrassed by the this.

But you gave it enough thought to throw it in foo, so you must feel something. Tell us, how does this make you feel? Are there emotions of angst and longing? Does this make you think of your parents?

If I had to guess (before posting) my count is 1,797.

I was off by one (at the time of posting). So yes, you're not alone AWA. But then again I have my driver's license number memorized and I know pi to 12 digits (that's all my hp 12c had 20 years ago or I'd probably know more...).
