Did any one notice this ?

If you make a method like this:

public function viewermakesoffer() {

   $page = new Page();
   $page->Title = "xxxxxx";
   $page->MenuTitle = "xxxxxx";
   $page->URLSegment = "xxxxxxx";
   $page->Status = "Published";
   $page->write();
   $page->publish("Stage", "Live");
   return;
}

In a ContentController and execute it by calling the right url the versioning mechanizm will go bizzare and create a nullafied SiteTree object in the database.

But the method will work ok if you put it in plain Controller.
