Actually, I thought by highlight you meant root nodes which is why I suggested Super Search (if you just want all nodes create by a user try Perl Monks User Search), if it's something else I don't know what your talking about as I've "personally created" everything I've written on PM.

Okay, bad choice of words.  I should have said "writeups a particular monk had personally originated as opposed to merely responded to."  But yes, you are correct that I was thinking of "root nodes".  I still think it might be nice to have them stand out (in a separate color) but still included with all writeups for a given monk, like this:

I trust that anyone who thinks about disturbing my eyes like this will use CSS to let me tone down the colours. Ow.

That said, I like the picture. Very clear. Bright, but shows clearly your vision. Too bad it's affecting my vision. :-)

Additionally, the new keywords feature may (eventually) provide some value in this area.
