No, it really doesn't.
If you (by which I mean, I) look at smearballs' "drawing at strings" thread below you (I) see that he has 13 replies.

Actually, he has 13 direct replies, but a great many more ancestor replies. Look at other threads, however, and the count includes all child replies.

So, er, yeah... I know about the ignore apparently fucking up the count, but this is clearly something else.

Oh... and you're a cunt for using comic sans in your profile.

It's because he's edited the original post and that fucks up the replies count.
GOD DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING????

I'll admit that I didn't know that.
The sort of things that I DO know include "how to engineer software which isn't shit".

I thought it was meant to be you who was regularly upset online

I'm only officially upset when one of the Board Big Chiefs tell me I'm upset.
I appear to be in fine spirits this week.
