This http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=15227 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=15227 page says "12 points by Sam_Odio 11 hours ago | 3 comments" yet there are only two, before I post this one. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=15416 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=15416 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=15385 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=15385 Does the root post count as a comment? Even if it does in the code, it would seem to confuse the reader.

I think the comment count counts spam comments, but you don't see said spam comments.

  Looks like you could be right. That's a bug then, I guess. If it's any use to me knowing how many comments there are, it should be how many non-spam ones, ones that I can see.
