but you can still see that they are using "talk".

"ps" and friends are full of privacy violation, as they allow
unprivileged users to peek at what others are doing by liberally
showing program arguments (though they can be hidden by setproctitle,
but almost nobody does that) and program names (which cannot even
be hidden).

I think this part should be seriously revised
(you in Bcc, are you listening ? :)
