I would hope that anyone who wants to help in this way would contact the person behind the throwaway account. If your excuse was "they used a throwaway account and therefore I won't help", I'd imagine you weren't going to help regardless.
- jacquesm 16y agoThat would be doable if the throwaway account had an email address associated with it, but it doesn't. edit: it does now.
- danilocampos 16y agoI think the "excuse" if you could call it that is people have no idea who this is and have no way of contacting them. Besides that, people choose who to work with based on reputation. I'm saying if this person has banked credibility with people over an extended period, he could probably pick up a few gigs from fellow HNers. At this point, no one knows anything about this person, and so they have no idea what skills or other unique value to ask for or trade cash for. Besides, you're much more likely to go out on a limb for someone you know is a good guy.
