9. At Defcon 4, DU software won't track "My Posts" ... it's a nuisance, eh?

The "bug" is typically due to you and someone else posting simultaneously to the same thread. The software gets tangled in its own underware. Timing bugs are the MOST difficult to shoot ... especially with high-level languages not as rigorously designed as they should be.

Since we dropped to Defcon 3 just now, 'My Posts" should show up ... EXCEPT when a collision (timing bug) prevents it.

me and my engineering monkey mind

11. Because DU's got bugs and a lot of crabby people.
