Somewhat related to this topic. I just noticed that with `enable names` enabled:

username= `Jan_de_Bont`, name= `Jan de Bont` shows the name with the post although it is redundant. Probably even more so than if username = `jandebont` with name= `Jan de Bont`.

What is the logic/code for deciding to show the name or not with `enable names` enabled?
