Yes, I mean values as computed values. The main post shouldn't be

main post is opened, the comment count can be computed from a view,
or when viewing a comment, the user is also shown the parent, and
maybe subcomments if its a threaded discussion.
okay that makes good sense - same for RDBMS of course too. basically
you're saying 'stay normalized.' i wasn't clear about your meaning of
'values' - which clearly excludes 'ids.'
cheers.
