Hacker News' display of usernames borders on anonymity; it's not highlighted nor emphasized in any way. It's like HN is an invitation to debate with its hivemind.
It should at the very least be easier to scan the usernames when reading large threads. Now, it's either a strain or something you forgo entirely. I'd be interested to see an eye movement analysis of HN users in relation to the username displays.
