Interesting.  I never read attributions so find them useless, and most
of the time my intention is to reply to the particular chunk of text
that I quote regardless of who wrote it.  Furthermore in the rare cases
where it's important to know who wrote it, it should be trivial to
lookup the parents in the thread.
[ I do find myself having to look at the parents in a thread fairly
  often, tho not to figure out who wrote it but in order to get more
  context to better understand what was meant.  ]
