1. database race conditions I imagine.
A deadlock for the current post counter record, and one must fail. But rather than fail the whole post, insert NULL in the post count field, which for the first person more than likely defaults to 0 at the database.

4. What if I preview it twice?
Could I give my thread 50 or 100 views before it's ever posted?
