Actually, Tim, there is a logic but I'm not sure where it is. As I did my hurried post series, the count incremement increased with each post (and notice how well I did getting my intent across in exactly the correct # of words). Then I went and posted the message I was really after, coming back to this thread to see all the counts now at the higher number. Must be something about when you leave the thread the cookie or whatever updates the grand total and replaces the totals.

Not sure I'm communicating exactly, but the numbers do change eventually.
