Ned,

I don't know how many you are seeing, but a number of them are perfectly normal. Some are in various projects in the initial MVC project. Some are prototypes in the right-hand global flap. Also, by sending #openInWorld, you may have removed them from places they belong.

How many was it, BTW?
