I agree. I also don't like that our software makes it easy to sign
comments with nicknames different from usernames. By now there are some
people for whom you need to memorize three names (nickname, username,
mailing list name), and some people even change their nicknames around.
This behavior is childish and makes it harder to follow discussions. I
think it shouldn't be encouraged by the software.
