I do that alot, but I try not to do it.You can earn your way into this rank and you can earn your way back out of it again by posting relevant original posts or responses, using your Edit button when you think of something add after you hit the Submit button, and keeping your posts in the section for that subject or purpose.
Thats really the only thing I do, I don't try and raise my post count, I could careless what my post count is.
