Bug in Activities Filter

Question
-
For this user http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/evolcoder/activity I do not see TechNet WiKi as part of the filter in his Activity.
Why would this filter be missing?

Yes. That user created 2 articles recently (one duplicate of another - WiKi glitch) and I reported both as pirated content (or Carsten did). But when I wanted to check these articles, I had no way.
Also, I don't think the Filter should be dynamic depending on actual content. We should be able to filter by the common categories and if the user doesn't have them, well, the result will be empty. I don't see a reason why the filter itself should disappear.

Looks like Peter deleted the articles... thus no more activity on them. Or it got cycled off the last 100 activities.
It would be a frustrating experience to select "TechNet Wiki" and get zero results. At least this way, you know there are no Wiki activities without the extra click and disappointment. So it's "By Design".

Last 100 activities should respect the filter. E.g. if I apply filter, I need to see 100 last activities by that filter. Is it the current behavior?
