Noticed this question in the other topic:
For context: @murfle sees a post count of 10096/10099. I see this:
Looking at the permalink of @murfle’s topic-killing post, his was post number 10097. After that there were two more posts that only seem to be visible to mods:
This bring the total up to 10099.
You can stop talking to yourself now, @murfle 
EDIT: And now the previous topickiller says 10100 posts because I failed at posting in the right place
