I agree that URLs give benefit to ranking to a point, but Deane can send you hundreds of posts from Gadgetopia with top placements on Google SERPs and his string is /post/#### - nothing stuffed there.

Not sure I'll change, though, and <a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/whitehat-seo-tips-for-bloggers/" rel="nofollow">I think the verdict is still out on that move</a>. Funny you mention that - I'm posting about it right now. Yeah, me too. I use underscores in my default filenaming convention. It feels funny to treat html differently.
