I realize I could do that, but I'd want them to go into the custom titles first

Any sql folks out there got a command that I could type in to do that?
Rick does not currently plan on changing that (I hope he changes his mind though as I would like to be able to access it via the CP, but I think he has upgraded the code maybe to pay more attention to the post count and update/overwrite customizations)
Maybe if enough of us complain he will re-evaluate it and make the change to support it or allow us as Admins to enable/disable post count changes to title.
