Honestly the only time I even really notice usernames is when I find one person who is replying to a lot of threads in a single post.

Often I notice it because they are repeating the same rhetoric over and over, and it's usually something I strongly disagree with.

Even in those cases, I haven't internalized the names enough to recognize them in other threads.

I think twice I've read a post and thought oh hey that sounds like X. Mostly because of some niche knowledge that I've seen on here before and possibly interacted with. It's possible I'm strange though, I rarely read authors of articles unless they seem familiar or are worth recommending.
