If anyone tries it out (creating and deleting a post to see if the count number changes), please report back.
I was going to try it RIGHT NOW by deleting that one above, then remembered that we can't delete them anymore! Oh well...
I deleted 2-3 useless posts on a single thread just a couple of weeks ago but don't remember if the count went down - at the time, I assumed it would.
