 * Hi,
 * i have category count switched on in `list_cat` in my sidebar. i preproduce some
   posts in category “web” with timestamps in the future (so they aren’t yet displayed).
   They still are counted in the category count…. any way to fix this without switching
   the counts off?
 * for instance: i have 1 visible post in category “web” and 4 posts preproduced.
   the category count shows (5) but when i click on the category i only get the 
   1 post.
 * Greetings,
    Sam
