Thread Subject: Tool tips on poster's name

I was just idly moving my mouse over TMW's newsreader and
noticed that some of the posters' names have tool tips
associated with them. What's that about? (Using M$ IE6 to
browse).

Steve -

I get the same behavior. It seems to occur when the
newsreader does not have enough room to diplay the entire
name of the poster (Walter Roberson seems to be the main
culprit).

I think you are correct. And there was me thinking it was
some neat feature that I didn't understand. Like
highlighting those users with posted profiles or
something. Oh well.
