After I got my thousand, it stopped seeming important to keep track. At this point, I've contributed more words to this site than any one of the editors and yet calling attention to any particular milestone seems trivial.
There are always people more willing to engage in the trivial and banal than I and thus my post count will always pale in the face of others. I have less than 10% of the posts of the top posters and my preference for the long form response and my predication for only responding to threads with a premise or comment that interests me ensures that this is where I'll stay. At a handful of posts per day. At my current rate, for example, I'd need 40 years to reach Sassafrass's post count.
