Thank you. That helped me find the cause.

It's like this: If the page is a pmdev-patchable type, *and* the current user is _not_ in pmdev, then the owner is displayed as "gods". *Otherwise*, the node's true owner is displayed. In this case, which is a good example, the "Comment on" and "preview page" pages _are_ pmdev-patchable types, so that means non-pmdev will see "gods" and pmdev will see the true owner, which in the case of these two files is PublicAccess.

That still leaves the question of how we keep anonynewbies from thinking the node they're replying to is owned by "gods" when they're on the comment drafting pages.

One idea I think would be most useful would be to remove the "attribution" altogether, rather than say the node is "by gods".

Update: Done. :-)

Update**2: I also have it suppressing the _date_ part of the attribution whenever the _author_ part is suppressed. In general, it makes very little sense to think about the creation date of infrastructure nodes like Message Inbox and PMUS.
