     It should go to them all, no?

     Nope. A notice is only ever directed at one person sharing the name. What logic it uses to decide which one, I have no clue.

     @nybill I suspect it is the 1st instance of that name in the sender’s site’s db

     Although @jezra argues (rightly) that my avatar is a Chimpanzee… Gunmonkey is the name they gave me way back when. No going back now. ;)

     I don’t think that’s it either. @nybill@identi.ca was in my db first but the initial went to fragdev. It is magic. ;)

     @lnxwalt are you sure? Or is it getting picked up as part of a thread that @nybill follows?

     Maybe its because I use Fragdev ~75% of the time these days?

     But wait, @windigo told me the names are just a string, you can change them. Your real name is some OStatus (I assume) hash.

     @lnxwalt a lone notice to someone the user isn’t subbed to?

     It’s not a hash, it’s just a URL; for instance, I think I’m http://micro.fragdev.com/user/1 or something like that.

     But yeah, your username can change completely and not affect the system in the least. :)

     @lnxwalt I had a feeling that it was also somehow tied to your subscriptions, and possibly in what order you subscribed… but I’m not sure.

     Oh ok. I just figured it would be more encrypted than that.
