    I used to care about the table being autincremented by 'test posts' but not anymore.

    see

    the unique id is a valuable identifier because, well, it's unique.

    It may look strange having a userID of 122 with only one row on that table, but remember that in a site of multiple tables and INNER JOIN queries, wanting your table structure to look 'pretty' may jeopardize how the whole backend functions.

    And you'll add/edit/delete a lot of rows in the future, testing or otherwise...
