Okay, lets go through your points as they are: 1. Since the CB only holds relatively few messages, skimming it is not considered a real waste of time. 2. he, she, they were all invented to improve the efficient and easy of English, and their equivilents in all other languages I know of. Also what about stuff like "he said" would this need highlighted, thereby possible ruining a joke or other purpose. 3. If someone truly wishes to talk to you they can /msg you. And if you are busy with a node, ie. reading it, you will proably not refresh the page in time to see the message anyway, meaning highlighting is a mote point 4. Points mean less then xp (no pic ;) I'm not going to go deep into implimenting it, though checking to see who a person is, matching that against messages, and then implimenting some css class to highlight only for him/her sounds like a headache to me.
