That actually says "Keep your shirt on, Snowy. You're going to get them back you brainless twit. Do you think we'd be so stupid as to take them away permanently? There'd be all out mutiny after 3 days. People'd be plotting revolution in secret corners of the board, Mr English would log on under Brad's ID and confuse the hell out of some of us for a brief period of time, that bastard WLP would skulk off and register applenova.org........"

.........And the answer to the first of your questions in the other thread, alcimedes, which I could see on the groovy mini transparent window thingy that pops up when I get an email, is no. (Surprisingly enough, I'll admit.)
I know I shouldn't rise to the bait, but chester dear, you're entirely too verbose for me to ignore. Such a humorous, ironic, tongue-in-cheek response requires a reply of some nature, so here goes.

Post counts have been removed before (at .com). There was a school of thought that one shouldn't be measured by one's post count/quality over quantity, that whole thing. Consider this another trial of this school of thought. Post counts aren't worth anything, and don't do much other than let people know how much time you waste on an internet forum.

The rep system has always been a beta/test idea. It was built into Vb, we figured we'd give it a try. It's all still there, just invisible. You know our fascination with hidden things. Gotta have 'em!

No need to fester sweet chester, everything will be just fine!
