 * Hi,
 * There is a critical bug in counting posts. Imagine situation:
 * I wrote a post, I got 1500 views. But, I started editing the post when I had 
   450 views. After updating the post, views go back from 1500 to 450. I think this
   is critical bug, so please fix it ASAP.

 * So, you will just ignore this serious bug?

 * This is not a critical bug. Critical bug is when you’re site breaks.
 * But it doesn’t mean we’re going to ignore that. What we can do is to not display(
   and save) the post views data only for post of “published” status (not drafts
   or pending).

 * OK, it’s not critical, poor choice of words. But it is serious.
 * Post count should not go back to the count when I started editing.
