Barbara, please do not worry about it. Do not be concerned. It is not a contest. It's just another way of looking at ones activity. I have heard from people (without me asking) that, oh, I do not post much, but I do read....etc.
So, I know there is consiousness about post numbers but this is more of a fun way to see activness (if that is a word, which I do not think it is) on the site without just looking at post counts.
Because there is an awards system build into it, we can have fun awards for, for example, the most helpful users (based on thanks received or a calculation of many other factors). Or the "most talkative" (combining referral numbers, profile comments etc. )
I am glad you are getting familiar with things around here. That's what matters.
