I agree that the show email link should be nixed, and you should use mailto links for the emails if you are going to show emails. I personally would prefer it if you offered a contact form that emailed me via the site (behind a captcha of course).

Why did you have me pick a user name if it's never shown publicly on the site and I log in using my email address?

Ok, I've replaced the emails with a contact form instead (still working on the captcha).

Also, the login is your url: HNHackers.com/username

Password reset still isn't working. It says an email has been sent, but emails aren't arriving.

Also, from another comment, HN usernames are case sensitive, so making them all lowercase will most likely cause problems sooner or later.

Correction, password reset does appear to be working, it's just taking about half an hour for the emails to arrive.

Maybe a mail queue setting?
