Posting under different names, but posts still all highlighted - can you stop it please?

Hi MNHQ
Very occasionally I post under a different name to discuss personal issues. My DH and a lot of my friends know my usual name so sometimes I need a little anonymity.

The problem is that posts under my more private username are still highlighted in bright pink and appear under Threads I'm On, so very easy for DH to stumble across.

Would it be possible to separate usernames so that each name has it's own unique identity and they don't all come up as highlighted or under Threads I'm On?

If not, I guess I'll have to register a whole new account for those more private posts.

YY LineRunner, totally legit use of changing your nickname. As long as you aren't trolling or agreeing with yourself in the same thread!

So you can be LineRunner for usual stuff
Then OuchyArseGrapes to discuss your horrendous piles

Then change back to LineRunner to talk about TV shows again, without everyone saying - Oh LineRunner, how is your arse these days?

Just an example, of course, not everyone has piles or so I hear
