Ah! How did you figure that out? BTW, at least for the time being, Yahoo's Advanced Search seems to be functioning properly again. I've checked it a couple of times recently against both the Post Count and the external archive, and it's been spot-on. So anybody who is getting close to 50 posts and isn't sure whether the Post Count is accurate because of delayed posts or problems with Alex's server might want to check Yahoo Advanced Search and the external archive to verify it. (The external archive's search syntax is not very intuitive or user-friendly; if you click on Search and then on Refine Search, you'll get instructions on the search syntax. Takes some getting used to.) Also, once again you can now search by author with Yahoo's Advanced Search and it'll give you *only* posts made by that author instead of all posts that contain the poster's Yahoo ID (i.e., in attributions or in quoted text). Who knows how long it'll last...
