When it comes to me, I usually realise my n-th post had just happened right after I make it (except for my last jubilee, i.e. 3000th post, when I realised it only several posts later and not immediately. Maybe I am getting blind). From the "EDIT: Wow! #th post!" words which I have seen many times, I assume that this is no rare phenomenon. I think many people, like me, don't realise something special is happening until the number they were used to changes suspiciously. Number, let's say, 3987 by itself does not warn you in any striking way on first sight.
