If you use 'per session' logins (as opposed to leaving a computer permanently logged in as 'venta') then some browsers [I've seen both IE5 and IE6 do this] will occasionally log you out based on things you do in other browser windows.
So, for example, I've been reading something and I think "Oh, I know, I'll write some terribly clever comment" - but then I discover I'm not clever enough so I so a quick Google in another window before writing the comment only to discover that the browser has forgotten who I am ! (Incidentally, when this happens IE also loses the text of the comment for you - great, eh ?)
