I've upgraded the LW anti-kibitzer so that it hides the taglines in the recent comments sidebar as well. (Which is imperfect, because it also hides which post the comment was about, but better will have to wait until the server starts enclosing all the kibitzing pieces of information in nice tags.) No such hack was possible for the recent posts sidebar.

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>

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.
