Shared folders show "+18" at the end of the members list

In my shared folders list page, the members list for most all my shared folders has +18 at the end.
Example: "Mary, Margaret, +18" what does +18 mean ?

    Good question. Mine are currently showing +8, and that wasn't there until recently.

    I don't think so, Dave. It's showing up for shares that only have one other member (nearly all my shares are with just one person).

    I thought it meant more names/members as well, but it is showing up on shares where I know I have only added 1 other member. Like Rich R. mentioned. This makes me a little nervous.... what does this mean ?
