... and this is why someone added "show original post" to the wishlist. What was your post again? This kind of editing makes me wish I'd quoted your post.
I tried this, but couldn't get it to work. It's also unclear how that would work on mobile, since there's no hover. Maybe long tap would work for that. Anyhow, put it in the wishlist thread if you like. I'll experiment with making the avatars smaller. Maybe the size of the greentooth.
