minor LJ annoyance

[jay]

The algorithm used for tallying comments posted/received has been changed sometime over the past few months. One's responses to others' comments in one's own journal are now counted as both "posted" and "received", instead of only the former. This has had the unfortunate effect of suddenly inflating my "received" total, pushing it past the "posted" total.

So now it looks like I'm a net LJ drain, parasitically drawing in more inputs than I'm generating comments in return. A minor annoyance, granted, but I dislike looking like I'm not-pulling-my-weight online...

True... it wouldn't help the comments-posted number (since it would be a new entry) but at least then my responses wouldn't look like comments-received to myself!
