Site Bug: Comment (Post) Counts Wrong

To the Site Maintainers:

There is a ‘fencepost’ (off by one) error in the post counts shown on the main page versus in the actual post. On the “General Discussion” page, a post might show having 19 replies. When you go to the post, it shows having 20 replies. I’ve checked this a number of times on different posts just to be sure someone wasn’t posting when I wasn’t looking, but its consistent.

Curious. Why does that “bug” matter? We don’t get revenue from the times a thread is viewed, so what’s the big deal?

Not views, replies.
