Any chance we can get rid of the new “Comment author:” bits on every comment? I’m finding it really intrusive as it seems to force more saccades when reading—i.e. my eyes have to jink right to read the author, then back to start the text. Previously, this was unnecessary.
I drew this to Matt’s attention privately and it’s now in the issue tracker; the plan is to put it only on comment permalink pages (it is to serve some comment indexing purpose) and leave it out again on other views.

Please forward my thanks and appreciation for the prompt fix!
Ah, I took “I drew this to Matt’s attention privately” to mean some more personal form of communication (sometimes it seems like all the west coast (or at least SF Bay area) LWers all know each other IRL), andso this seemed like a reasonable place to offer public praise/reinforcement (given that I’m not in the bay area), both to you again for answering my original comment and to Matt for actually taking care of it. Sorry for any confusion; no other implication(s) were intended.

I think Matt lives on the east coast … of Australia.

Since I’d tell him by PM, I’m not clear on why there’d be any advantage to me telling him so over you.

He’s here in Melbourne. Our coast (and bay) is on the “south” side. But our state is the south-easterly one at least.
Thanks!
