I agree with perrin, while I listen to everyones advice, certain people, such as merlyn, Ovid, the two I first learned Perl from, I have a tendency to listen to more, also I just like knowing :). The only other time I use people's names is when voting, ie if I have one vote left and it's between a Saint and a Scribe, I'll vote for the Scribe (the Saint has enough experience and a few actually tell you to vote for someone else). That said I still think it wouldn't be a bad idea for those who wanted, as long as you could change it in User Preference.

each monk has his own rules for how to vote (or not.) the site, as currently presented, does not make room for kabel's rules. others might wish to have similar functionality.

the change i have proposed extends the current 'attribution' class to reply nodes as well as root nodes. this change affects the HTML markup only. it is up to each monk to choose whether and how to display attributions in their custom stylesheet.

i see little reason not to grant this simple request to kabel. that said, i am merely the pmdevil who coded it... the gods are here to make it so.
