Why "Related post" once again have 10 posts, 15 and the other time 5?
Greetings!
Its my blog: http://gryfabularne.blogspot.com
It's how related post work :
Deletefirst ,it scan all labels in the post . Each label it will scan all post for searching related posts and than remove then duplicated .
If your post has two labels or more ,it will scan these labels for related posts .

Your post has two labels and no related post duplicated ,the result is 10 posts :D

#primary-nav {
background: url("http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l4gxzI1nzbY/T4MMgGu0nJI/AAAAAAAAAOk/gnPbZq2r0vQ/alert-overlay.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 transparent;
