Let me first make sure that I understand your problem:

Your login name is, say, lektu on one machine, barranj on another.
You want to use one .emacs for both, hence you can not do

(setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "lektu")

nor:

(setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "barranj")

Or at least not just one of them.
What I suggested before:
(defun startup-echo-area-message ())
now seems stupid.

The solution to the problem I describe would be to put both lines
above in .emacs.  It works and people could blindly copy your .emacs,
no problem, at least not in as far as
inhibit-startup-echo-area-message is concerned.  

But is the above your real problem?

Sincerely,

Luc.
