from time to time, the site will “forget” that you are logged in

It will?

My profile claims I've been on the site since 2002. In that time, I've needed to log back in because of using a new computer/browser/OS install. I've needed to log back in because I've accessed the site through a different domain. And that's it. I have never had the site "forget" that I'm logged in, it has certainly never terminated my session in the middle of making a post, and I have never posted accidentally as Anonymous Monk. (I'm pretty sure that I've never posted intentionally as Anonymous Monk either, but I'm not 100% certain about that.)

I'm willing to accept that the site may sometimes "forget" that you, specifically, sundialsvc4, are logged in, but it is not a general problem that commonly affects the monks at large.
