I noticed the following odd behavior, and I cannot decided if it is a bug, or a feature. Go to someone's home node, then click on the "Writeups" link. You get a list of the user's recent writeups. No go into the chatterbox and hit the "Talk" button. Yuor screen will be refreshed, but their will be a different user in the writeups box! (And the list will be empty, you have to click the submit button to actually see any writeups)

Clicking the Talk button repeatedly cycles through some monks, but it sees like about the same 10 or so (I am not one of them). Cannot find any rhyme or reason to it, so I throw the challenge to my fellow monks: why does this happen, and how are the "random" monk names picked?

This rings a vague bell, and may have come up many many months ago...could I be overlooking something obvious?
