I don't think it deletes the actual posts does it?

I could see how that might tick one off...

I am under the impression that the number count under our names does not change when we post in the Gen Discussion forum....

The actual posts themselves are still there.

Only the displayed number has changed.

That's why I don't understand the fuss.

What difference does it make if it sez 600 or 800 or 50 under your name?

 

This is a principal thing i think!!. Its kind of like having an A on your report card then someone takes it away and gives you a B.
