15) Your name is *always* in the Other Users box...

What if it is always there when you look? Should that be taken as a sign it is always there..?

or tried to /tell yourself a message and forgot that checkbox? :-)

Odd .... I never see my name in the "Other Users" box....

You can opt out.
Perhaps you have forgotten.

UPDATE

I've hunted high and low but can't find the method/checkbox display/not display.
Perhaps some kind Monk will enlighten us?

Gavin,
I have been a monk for nearly 6 years and have been through every single configurable setting many times. I do not recall ever seeing an option not to appear in Other Users. I could just be mistaken.

Are you perhaps thinking of a cloaked login. See New ticker login for PM XML clients and Am I an 'Other' or not?.

Or perhaps you are thinking of opt out methods of being tracked as annotated in Announcing "Other Users" stats (Are you addicted to PM?) and im2.
