There can be more than one factor involved with why this can happen, and therefore 
hard to 
eliminate.

Keep in mind this problem plagues more web development platforms than just Witango.

This is more of a flaw in the Internet "architecture" brought about by the addition of 
user "convenience" - but that convenience is superseded now by security concerns.

Basically, in my opinion - just don't use <@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT> for any reason.
 
Hope this helpful. Cheers....
