I'm only passionate about my post count because if I don't keep up with everyone, some-people-here-who-shall-not-be-named would never let me live it down.
I have to say though, I remember when I hit say 1000 posts, and I calculated that I'd only ever get to post like 3000 a year if I really tried, meaning that it would take me about 4 years to even have a chance to get on the couch. Now I'll have double that by the end of the year, and might be on the couch by next year.
5,445, by the way.
