In case you're still wondering what's going on. There's a bit of code, called the [ you ] tag, that fills in the username if the person logged in. So while you are seeing your name everywhere, I see mine (see the attached screenshot for my view). Lately, it's used as a fun way to address everyone while seemingly addressing one person. There's older threads when it first came out where us long time members were trolling each other.

Basically, the rule of thumb is if you see your name where it doesn't make sense, click on the Quote button and in the reply window you'll see if it really is your name or just the tag being used.

Hold yourself to the same rules you expect others to follow.
