Yes, i've noticed this instantaneous "vanquishing" as well, which i definitely like... (as he ponders this, his demeanor changed to that of a power-hungry beast)

However, when logged out, unfortunately, i can still see the menaces (and i know this aspect has been discussed at length here) (laughs) ;-)
Hoping that this post finds you and your family well,
