Update: This issue is now resolved, nothing to see here, move along. I am seriously considering whether or not raising this issue in the way that I did was an over-reaction.

A homenode containscontained JavaScript that automatically posts a fixed message text both to the Chatterbox and to the user himself. A number of people have objected to homenode buttons that post to the CB, but I believe that, in addition to those concerns, this is disruptive to the CB. One person posts "PhilHibbs snoops round Ctrl-zs homenode", a few CB lurkers wonders what's so interesting, and soon the conversation that is going on is scattered with a handful of the same message.

I mentioned to the user that I don't think that this is acceptable a couple of weeks ago.

Update: Apparently this is what the "Disable some JavaScript on homenodes" user setting is for, which I have now reluctantly turned on, but this shouldn't be necessary.
