One of the best things about hn is that accounts are cheap and disposable. For me, most threads get their own account. I don't like people tracking my full comment history across the internet with it all tied to one account, even when it's just one I use to comment on harmless tech stories | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

`Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.` This just proves my point to discount what you say. You're basically admitting to being a pest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

That puts some responsibility on you to provide more context for your comments as extra signals of authenticity. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
