The previous discussion of a topic is no reason to close a thread of the same topic. I am not copying a thread, nor do I care what was decided in the past.

As I see it, people wanting to get a high post count is no reason to have post count around. Posting simply to get a number up is a waste of posts. If someone has an idea they wish to share, it should not matter if it raises their number by one, deletes it, or turns it blue for all the logic I can throw at it.

What is it they say about silence being golden?
