This omits the post number, which is just cosmetic.
The "&postcount=73" only adds the same link to the top corner of the post like this: #73 and links you back to the same post. The number 73 is just a reference to the seventy third post in the thread at that point and is not the real post ID which is the first 7 digit number, so it's not that useful to have it.
