There's a design choice on the part of LessWrong against avatar images. Text is supposed to speak for itself and not be judged by it's author. Avatar imaging would increase author recognition.
I think I agree with that. I do read author names, but I read them after I read the text usually. I frequently find myself mildly surprised that I've just upvoted someone I usually downvote, or vice versa.
And yet names are visually quite distinct. I find authorship much more obvious here than on HN.
Most people are much better at remembering faces than at remembering names. Hacker News also has a lot more people and therefore you will interact with the same person less often.
