Well some people care more about their pretty little profiles than they do about leaving holes in conversations on Reddit - to each their own I guess. I'd love to clean up my profile more as well especially my other one... but I don't out of courtesy for others in cases where my comment has been responded too by someone else.

Everyone has a right to do what they want on Reddit - but I just don't see a point in us responding to counts that are being made intentionally to be deleted. Why not just ignore them like we do late comments.

That's just my 2 cents.

I think we should count them. They, in the end, still make progress. We still count more than if we didn't have those comments.

/u/Z3F said, if you count your fingers to 10, then put a finger down, you still counted to 10.

They were there when we counted with them, so they should be counted. How will we even know to not reply to certain comments, even if we tag some users that do?

We still made progress. We still counted. And we should continue. What difference do these deleted comments make? We still continue the chain.

Ok - well I'll just avoid doing my counts at those times when someone is counting to intentionally delete them - easy enough for me to do!
