Why is this important for you who is commenting? HN is about arguments, not personalities.

  Users often post links to personal projects, blog posts, etc., and then discuss them in the comments. I find it helpful to quickly distinguish the author's comments from the rest of the discussion.

    Most of the time this is not relevant. So you would have to only do it for "Show HN:" posts.

      I'd have it do so for all posts, but in a clean and unobtrusive way. Perhaps a designated color for the OP's username, similar to how new account usernames appear green.
