... or when you've edited one of your own posts ;)

Some of this o'course comes from years of habit-- does anyone here not follow at least one php/bb forum? So you get accustomed to postcount = reply count, i.e. initial post doesn't count, and the "new posts" flag excludes your own posts. That's what happens when you get there first and have to make it all up from scratch. If you come along later -- in just about any human venture -- you can look around and selectively crib other people's ideas.
