I don't like avatars myself, but I have to disagree with the idea that it's bad because it would be focussing too much on the comments. For me, it's the quality of comments that makes me follow LWN.
(Maybe giving each person an coloured mark would be good. It could be autogenerated based on their account number or a rolling-over number based on some numberised version of their login name. Maybe.)

Instead of a coloured mark, just colour the title background mod their subscriber number. (For real utter O(n^2) overkill, hunt for a set of colours such that all individuals in a given conversation have an unchanging colour, and that all A->B->C response sequences use maximally distinct colours. ;) )
