Not sure what combination of state and events caused this to happen, but I got a chuckle out of it.

    If the post had 93 comments last time and has 92 now... is that noteworthy?

    And if there was one new comment and one deleted comment leaving the resulting sum total of comments unchanged... should I be informed that there's a new comment (rather than 0 new comments and so no change)?

        Consider the changes that would need to happen if user level instance blocking of comments was available. If a user was to block an instance that was brigading that post, what count should be displayed as the number of posts (and number of new ones)?
