Remove sticky entries from ?poster=(mumble) community journal view

Title:
Remove sticky entries from ?poster=(mumble) community journal view

Area:
page: journal, site: community features

Summary:
When viewing entries by a specific poster in a community, like http://dw-dev-training.dreamwidth.org/?poster=pauamma, sticky entries shouldn't be displayed on top. This is because the reader is likely looking for a specific entry by author name, and the sticky entries will likely stand in the way of seamless scanning.

Description:
It's unclear to me what should happen to sticky entries by the user specified in ?poster=. wouldnt want them displayed as sticky/in sticky position. Instead, I'd have them display in normal time-of-posting order. But there may be reasons to do it otherwise, or with a controlling option in the URL or elsewhere.

I agree that if one has asked for only entries by user x, then only entries by user x should be shown. This isn't the case at present (because stickies by other users are shown), and I think that fixing that could be argued to be a bugfix rather than an enhancement.

I'm not in favour of messing with stickies otherwise, though - I think that stickies by the user in question should show at the top, otherwise it's introducing an undocumented (and, IMHO, unnecessary) special case.
