    Try deleting one from 0 post count then, see if it goes negative.

    -1 is many many posts...

    If you put -1 (signed 0xFFFFFFFF) in a signed long variable, and copy the memory contents from that variable to an unsigned long variable, you get unsigned 0xFFFFFFFF, which is equal to: 4294967295
    How fun is that?

    The post count could never hit -1, because it's generated from counting the posts in the DB (I think).
