the underlining of usernames creates some confusion when the user has chosen lower case:

aguahombre -- it is a "g", not a Q. Like in Spanish, because "waterman" was taken.
Nigel -- not a nighttime cold medicine.
jdonn -- not the first-person for a Mafioso.
crazy4hoop-- not a homeboy.
feegle -- for those hooked on phonics, this could involve waste management.
TheHog -- again phonics. Not a bird or the act of pawning.

Probably not even mildy interesting, actually.

Underlining is done by default by the web browser, to indicate that it's a clickable link. If you don't like it, I think you can configure a style sheet that changes the style that links are shown in. I'm not enough of a browser guru to provide details of how to do this.

You're right, I just love basketball and live in the suburbs, nowhere near the "hood." But I don't know how to fix the illegibility of all that stuff. If I were a true homeboy, "fromdahood" would be my handle.
