Never was concerned about this because thought it wouldn't get into play. However, today's Skybook matchplay contest has a distinct chance (.30 imho) of making it to 3rd tiebreaker which is total posts at the RX. I've been posting irregularly for the last coup[le of years with most conversational posts on Sunday evenings and Sat mornings with .30 posts for contests. A couple of times over last 4-5 years, there have been site upgrades and some posters have had their totals reset while others didn't(I fit into this category) as seeing no need to have my total posts displayed for any real purpose.
Back in 1998-99, I was probably top 5-10 in posts particularly from fall of 98 thru NCAA hoops of 99 when Huskies beat Duke. Shrink and I had running debates on sportbooks that rounded wager amounts so that a 5 dollar wager would return 5 (in essence no vig) and some people submitting multiple 5 dollar bets to avoid vig as comapnies weren't too sophisticated. Shrink backed book(s) that overscrewed (eventually decide to keep all winning wagered money using this method) bettors while I was on other side of fence. My post total on just this matter was probably 500-700. Also, Shrink hired a softball goon from Vegas as a prognosticator(anyone remember) for games--he wasn't too good.
My point is that I've got who knows how many posts here since 98 and that someone's total posts is not too important. To attach such importance to a $2500 (not 100, 200) matchplay for total posts is a bit much. My .02
