Well, to kibitz the anti-kibitzing, it looks to me like:

by <a href="http://lesswrong.com/user/Marcello"><strong>Marcello</strong></a>

would match pretty easily against something that looked for

by <a href="http://lesswrong.com/user/(.+)"><strong>(.+)</strong></a>

and deleted it, similarly on the Recent Posts but without the <strong>, checking for the identity of the two matched strings is optional (I forget how to do this offhand with REs).

by <a href="<http://lesswrong.com/user/([^>"]+)"><strong>([^<]+)</strong></a> would be better (you could also make your .+ non-greedy with .+?), but us (Trike) providing more classes and ids is better still. We're looking into it.
