Lately when I've gone to log in to certain websites. The auto-complete has been showing user names besides mine. Namely:
Mr Kleen
complacent
sirwilliam
Now these guys have never logged in to any of my machines nor I to theirs. So why are their user names showing up in my auto-complete?!?!

the autocomplete matches the "name" element of the html form field, so if the "name" element from our website, say from sending a pm, matches the "name" element on another website, say for logging in, it can show their name. Nice try by the web browser to help you out, but goes a little too far...

^/\^ Alright, that makes sense. So pretty much anyone I ever send a PM to is ging to end up in my "username" fields. Gotcha!
