Sir Ralf, that's a question that there's no easy answer to. I'm sure one of the Italics could give you a quick'n'dirty total of all the "A" numbers, minus the edited entries, minus the copies of personal spaces, minus deleted entries, minus moderated-away entries, minus entries on other DNA sites who share our A-number space but not our "Edited Entry" system. But that still wouldn't show multiple drafts of the same entry - to find those you'd have to go through them all manually...

Sir Ralph, sorry for mis-spelling your name. There's no excuse for that, and I know how irritating that can be.

Oh, I wasn't ignoring you, I'd just not seen your post. Sorry. To summarize what you said: nobody knows. Right?

you are taking your life into your hands stroking Oskar at the moment... he has lost Lenin and so is VERY grumpy.

I've dealt with kittens before, I know what I'm doing.

The last cat I had was a rescued kitten; it was half domestic cat, half wildcat. At one point my boss at the time asked me into his office for a chat; it turned out he'd seen the state of my arms and thought I was harming myself with sharp implements... 
I kept him and fed him till he grew to adult size, then gave him the option of staying with me or going feral. The second time I took him outdoors he left, I miss him, but I know he was tough enough to survive on his own, and he was pretty miserable shut up indoors.

The best way to fight with a kitten is with your sleeve over your arms. The best way to fight with a full-grown cat is a pencil or a ruler. The best way to deal with a grumpy old moggy is to run away. Terribly fast.

I know what you mean... oskar has a thing for wrists so I'll be sitting in the tube and somwone will look down at them and start edging away or ask me if I am some kind of nutty attention seeker... they never believe me when I say that it's my cat though!

I once saw a fight between a huge labrador and a tiny kittten.

The dog's head was bigger than the whole kitten, but the kitten hit the dog once and it backed away.
