I myself had mixed emotions about the post count coming back because that has happened in the past, and it created some awkward situations that have become a part of VF's history.
Even though I am top poster, I never posted just for the sake of posting. If I didn't have anything to contribute, I didn't post. Furthermore, I always tried to keep my contributions readable and legible. I always tried to use proper grammar, punctuation and sentence structure. While this isn't English class, sentence does say something about the author of the post. In the real world, quality of writing has been known to make or break careers. No one's going to hire someone who writes ineligibly, and in some cases, the better your writing is, the better your work reputation will be. That being the case, rather than worry about it, or only write my best 'when it counts,' I always write in the best way I can. That way, when it does count, I won't have to worry much about it.
Bottom line, post count's just a number and 'top poster' is just a title. None of it means very much. I really hope nobody thinks they need to post like mad just to have that title. All it really says is that I've been here a very long time.
