There are some usernames I will recognise, and their comments do mater more to me. Also, if someone does say something interesting, you can often learn more about them from their profile page should you wish to.*
And, yes, it would amuse me for a couple of days if everyone with/working on a PhD were encouraged to append their thesis titles after their usernames.
* though yes, for people I don't recognise who are not posting particularly interesting comments, it does not matter who posted them. Such as this comment I assume, anyone could write it.
- amichail 17y agoImagine someone commenting on Google but you don't take his/her comment seriously and post a reply indicating that this person is mistaken. You later find out from his/her profile that this person is a Google employee and is in a position to know what he/she commented about. It might be too late by then to take back what you wrote.
- unalone 17y agoToo late for what? This is the Internet. You're allowed to make an ass out of yourself sometimes. I remember when I came on here and criticized Delicious and got in an argument with joshu because I didn't know who he was. If anything, I'd like more anonymity, because the people I do know I sometimes tiptoe around.
