By digital garbage I mean information without any useful purpose, only filling up space. I assume that temporary account are rare at HN, thus this isn't really a problem. However, I ask - shouldn't this use case (anonymous posting) be accommodated by the system, instead of relying on a hack?

Even with anonymous posting, it is useful to know that the anonymous comments in the ensuing discussion are from the same person who made the original anonymous post. So I think pseudonymous posting is valuable, more so than truly anonymous posting.
