Bernie,
I know about the post count increasing when you rate a picture. I probably have 40 or 50 that I have rated in my count. I don't pay much attention to who has the most as I just enjoy the posting and joking around. And believe me, I know what it is like to sit around in an airport trying to kill time until my flight.
If I remember correctly I have even rated a few of your pictures, always with a comment about how nice I think the cars or whatever is in the pictures are. I stumbled over the fact it counts as a post about 5 years ago by accident after I made some comments on a picture and happened to look at my cont when I went back to the page. At first I wasn't sure just what happened so I went back to the gallery and found another nice original car and commented on it and then looked and sure enough it had added to my count. So I only make comments on cars and pictures which I happen to see now that I think are really outstanding. Have at it buddy, it doesn't bother me at all. And it is a lot more reasonable than the old PC........ posts that some people used to use.
