Oh dear... I've struck a nerve (where's the snowflake emoji ) 
… what "triggered you" was it getting called out for being a faux pas CHIEF or lack of reading comprehension which prompted you answer the OP Stupidly.
giving advice for the sake of a higher post count. one guess, a liberal snowflake.
This word you chose "ingratiate" that's not a word I'm familiar with... that's not me!
Here's a lil story Cap'n... while you're sitting home keeping watching on your post count We (oil company) shut the rig down due to flooding here in East Texas, can't get the equipment trucks in.
So I was off a few days. I didn't sit at the computer trolling the forum, unlike you Cap, I Packed the truck, drove to Matagorda bay for some night fishing and took the Raptor out to some Texas dunes.
Point is Cap (Cap'n or captain) I haven't the time to sit my Arse and build a high post count.
I will only log on when I'm not busy or living life in general... but until then I'Il leave you with a thought.
Being popular on the internet is like being rich in Monolopy, and you my friend are rich.
lets hope you're a better Cap'n than Chief.
