I just posted to loc.ch.zh.zue... a group that had no posts to it other than
the two starter posts back in 1998.

So that is post #3 and 1 new one in the last 24 hours right?

But the traffic report page shows **3** new posts. Not so. Bug or feature?

Somewhere in between a bug and a feature.  The traffic page considered the
group as empty when there were only 2 posts because it disregards groups with
only 2 posts.  When the count jumped from 2 to 3, the traffic page saw it as
no longer empty and has now begun tracking it.  If a fourth message appears,
it would be compared to the 3, not to 0.

(...) Sounds like kind of a misfeature :-), you must have a hard coded "ignore if 2"... so just hack in another hard coding "if this is a jump from 2 to something, pretend you weren't ignoring the 2's and just show (something-2) new instead" ++lar (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
