in reply to Usernames in the chatterbox

Which usernames? What about the usernames that are also words, like wolf or sporty? Should those be highlighted everytime someone talks about wild animals or the Spice Girls? What about !1?

Or, are you talking about displaying already highlighted names with bracketing []? So, my name would look and behave like [dragonchild|dragonchild]?

Interesting ... the code that deals with [] doesn't nest as expected ...

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
