[Mono-list] Cross-Browser Session Mixing

[David P. Donahue]

I figured it wasn't a "bug" but just something I didn't fully 
understand.  The reason I attribute it to the server side, though, is 
that it's mostly evident on my site when session variables 
(HttpContext.Current.Session["variableName"]) get mixed up between the 
two browsers.
