The mail-archive.com site is an off-site archive of a FFL email feed for people's convenience, but it is not an official "count" of FFL traffic. Most deletions are people editing after they've sent, and when I see that someone has overposted, the first thing I do is look in the admin log of FFL website activity to see if there were any deletions by that person to take the count back down. In this case, Judy realized her mistake and immediately deleted those posts. The question now is whether or not those particular deletions should be allowed to neutralize the overposting. Because Judy is so conscientious about the post count, I'm inclined to let her slide on this one, but I have asked Rick to make the decision on this one. I was against the post count in the first place, and yet, enforcement of it has become my responsibility for the most part. Contrary to the Nazi regalia that Tom Pall likes to project on me, I actually hate being put in situations like this one.
