Script Summary: Annotate MetaFilter user-links everywhere with an indication of user-number.

Version: 0.3

Annotate MetaFilter user-links everywhere with a black/grey/white indication of user-number. Black means old/low user number. White means new/high users numbers. Grey is middle.

The idea is to identify posts/comments from nicely-aged posters (or at least people who have been on mefi longer) - ala nicely aged fine cheese.

This may or may not be a "good thing", but as a new MeFi user I wondered if there were interesting dynamics around "user age". Adding an easily visible indicator of user age might make them easier to spot.

Well, that and I wanted to try out GreaseMonkey...
