Do I have to point out the elephant in the room?

My comment disappeared, but the tally was still 13 comments on that article. There were actually only eleven left with mine missing, but that must include one of a permabanned user, because the comment count was already off by one when I posted a couple of days ago.

This is correct. It's why I always delete the comment of a user I'm about to permaban if I see the comment first. It'd be nice if this number could be fixed to remove banned user counts, but I don't know how much work it would entail...
