As I mentioned, it's not hard to defeat the check, and I figured you were just curious. Impostercide should be working -- there are two spaces if you look at the underlying HTML, but only one displayed by the browser. (And I've now updated it with a "not" indicator.) :-) At least with the with same-seeming name, it doesn't highlight differently since you didn't match up on that and other fields. You're right that this highlighting isn't especially accessible to the blind. In this case there is a different CSS class for author and commenter posts, which maybe could be used to cue some aural hint if desired. Shouldn't be a problem for color-blindness here, since the difference is in the bordering line placement and thickness. Finally, for the math plugin, I'm sure they're probably keeping things simple for us. ;-) Hi — no worries. As I mentioned, it’s not hard to defeat the check, and I figured you were just curious.

Is Impostercide disabled? If so I'm throughoutly embrassed and sorry :) I might well look like a spammer by now, but there’s only one space in “Posted by Scott Carpenter on”.

Sorry for impersonating you without warning, Scott. I left an extra space between the two words and it passed through. I also think this will effect blind and vision-impaired people. P/s: the repellent doesn't accept 19.0 as 19, you might want to look about your processor's <a href="http://www.xkcd.com/217/" title="xkcd comic, minus off-by-one bonus" rel="nofollow">floating point unit</a> :^) That was me making comment #1.

Aural CSS pops up as a candidate for the rescue in my head.
