Hello Nathaniel, After some more investigation, I discovered that the defect is only in the confusing user interface. The convention of a captcha to uncover "..." works _only_ in on the user profile page and not on the project page. There is a indication in that only the "..." has a link in the profile, while the whole name has a link in the project, but even with decades of experience with computers I didn't pick up on this for a very long time.
May I suggest clarifying the documentation or (better) adding a note in the user profile page concerning the "..."? I have sent a message to the project's creator and we'll see if he responds.

Clicking on either of the names simply opens a new page. That sounds like a defect - have you thought about filing a defect report<http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/FAQ#If_I_find_a_problem_with_the_hosting_on_Google_Code,_how_do_I_fi>? Please investigate the matter fully. On what hardware platform, operating system, and browser are you seeing this behavior? Are you able to reproduce the behavior on other platforms, operating systems, and/or browsers? Is the behavior the same whether you're logged in to or logged out of your Google Account? If you have access to another Google Account, is the behavior the same when logged into that other account? What is the url of the new page that is simply opened? Does the name appear again there with another "..."? If clicked, does that "..." answer your question or take you to still someplace new that you didn't want to go? Or does it take you in a circle?
