Comment (by CDN WP GUY):

 Thanks for the reply Sergey.

 I didn't realize the design philosophy is that usernames are public info,
 so I get it. Suppressing the display of the username making a posting...
 is purely for aesthetic reasons.

 Logging into my wp site's dashboard, I had been considering the 'username'
 field to be an additional security measure (in addition to the password)
 since it was a blank field. I guess the username field could actually be
 replaced with a drop down menu of existing valid usernames instead.

 Thanks. CWG
