[YouTube-API] Re: Number of comments includes deleted comments

Hello Ravi,

openSearch:totalResults isn't going to give you an exact value
corresponding to the number of items in all cases:

http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html#youtube_data_api_tag_openSearch:totalResults

This is expected behavior, especially when it comes to deleted
comments. I'd recommend that you code around this—if you need a
completely accurate count of the number of comments, you'd have to
iterate through them all, for instance.
