Where I find this to be awkward is that the format is randomly different
between the user-title and no-user-title cases.

What about just discarding the old format entirely, and printing one of
these two things:

        Timestamp (every Ns)

        User Given Title <tab> Timestamp (every Ns)


This works for me.
