1. Forgot one option
Post counts acknowledge DU'ers contribution no matter how big or small and are a viable means of embracing others in our community regardless of whether we agree with them or not in other forums.

2. I just live
to see newyawker's sexy sweetness on display when she posts the "congrats" threads. So I'm in with the "newyawker fan club," whichever option that is.

5. I like them a lot
I think it makes everybody feel a little bit special to see somebody noticed their posting milestones.

6. I think post count threads make people feel special...
and thus more likely to contribute $ to DU.

And I think that's fine...

7. I Like Post-Count Threads

They helped form the DU community. They are worth some extra posts. They are easy to skip if you're not interested.

8. I agree
It's a nice tradition that makes people feel welcome. Like saying "Welcome to DU" to folks that have low post counts (and aren't disruptors).
