Yes, I've noticed that that some people are very attracted to that type of highlighting. They get very passionate about it and move quickly into the glow.
D'oh!

I mentioned yesterday to Jimbolito that while CSS2 doesn't provide a property to give text a glow, but told him about a bunch of features we have planned that will make it easier to find people who are making real content. Basically, we're building ways to find users that will scale to very large numbers of users, and when the simple list of users goes away, highlighting users who have produced content recently may not be relevant because there will be no simple list of users, and there will be other ways to find not just recent posts, but recent posts that meet your interests.
