maybe its because after ppl qouting so many times the name gets out of view so its easier to see who the post was by without having to scroll back up?

It's back from the days when we didn't have posts that showed usernames. It showed IPs and seeing how they were Dynamic because of dial-up. signing your username was your way of identifying who you were. Or so I've heard
