I'm sorry - I disagree. If you went with such a system (and especially if it was combined with the "No showing comment scores" model), then there's no context with a comment whatsoever. I like to know the user name b/c I know certain people IRL or from being here for 5+ years. Like Peroni said, I seek certain people's comments out b/c I respect their take on things. I think that the worst part would be how such a thing would affect the "Ask HN" questions. How would you know the advice you were receiving was from a 40yo who has cashed out in 5+ ventures or from a 14yo kid who "talks a good game"? Sorry - I like that context for helping determine the good from the BS.
