Continuing on from my ability to accidentally find weird edge-cases of the LW site:
As can be seen on a screenshot of my profile, the site thinks I’ve made 4 posts (second icon at the top), despite only displaying 3 posts. What gives?
(As an aside, I like looking for this stuff, so do inform me if the LW team could use this ability (something like quality assurance? hunting for and reporting bugs? reporting user experience stories?) in a more formal capacity.)
I… don’t think so? I mean, there was a 7-year stretch where I didn’t post anything, so maybe I accidentally posted something 8 years ago and deleted it, but I don’t remember doing so (not that that’s much evidence to the contrary).
I did delete unpublished drafts, but from what I can tell those don’t affect the posts counter.

I got the impression that the LessWrong website often counts deleted posts/comments. Do you know whether you deleted one of your posts?
