Various counts are off on Twitter right now, so you shouldn't be basing much on counts.
If you are following the original tweeter, you get the retweet, but not the deletion. If you are following the retweeter, you get both the retweet and the deletion notice. This is due to a limitation in the deletion message format -- there isn't enough information to route the message in the first case. This affects several streaming use cases, and is a known issue that we, eventually, hope to fix the next time we're in that part of the code. One workaround, albeit often impractical, is to take the full firehose and do the correlation on your end. -John Kalucki http://twitter.com/jkalucki Infrastructure, Twitter Inc.
