mk, a better idea: allowing the at-mention to use a second argument as a display name. For example:

  @thenewgreen|TNG@ has been of great service to Hubski!

turns into:

TNG has been of great service to Hubski!

If I understand correctly, all you have to do is tweak the parser a little for possible presence of second argument.

I think I just went through the exact same sequence as mk.

Anyway, I guess am_U is preferred, but I'll respond to anything that makes my chubwheel (LOL, thank you, autocorrect!) orange. Speaking of which, I owe you a response, been thinkin' about it. But it's related to sex, so I gotta tread carefully.

...you keep surprising me.

Whatever it is you want to say, speak freely and straight-forwardly.

Mind blown. You just did it.

Oh did you create a link there?

I did.

Best thing is: after you sanitize it for HTML and JS, you can input multiple-word names that way ("that fanfic guy, you know"), because all you have to do is bring the string between the separator and the ending at-sign as the link text.
