Why does it always say "someone" swept your mines when the game knows damn well who the offending party is(are).

The server code that generates the message doesn't know if you'll be able to see the fleet by the time you get the message. That will probably remain, but you should be able to click on the mine field in the message and have it jump there, making it fairly clear who was sweeping.

I would have thought this would be a client issue. The server sends information about what was swept and which fleet did it and the client would check to see if you can see that fleet. If you couldn't, then you would get the "someone" message.
