Hey that's me :)
- lwhalen 6y agoLol, and how did that work out for you?
- gcbw3 6y agoI'd bet that was a bouncer/client set address, for the joke. Sigh, people probably trust things like this today because FB(whatsapp)/Google/slack/discord forces you to sign up with valid phone numbers and probably expose that as your ID.
- nullify88 6y agoHis resume has that place of work listed. Of course it could be part of the joke too, but thats elaborate.
- tomjakubowski 6y agoI think the joke may have been by ChrisLMB, who saw the opportunity when he read the unmasked second-level domain in ben174's address.
- kchoudhu 6y agoDefinitely had this happen to me when I was new on IRC.
- hatsunearu 6y agoBut the guy's got LMB in his name, what's up with that?
- kchr 6y agoThat would be the opportunity, I guess. :-)
- jychang 6y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ben174 https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ben174 His resume says he was an engineer at LowerMyBills between November, 2003 to June, 2004.
- karyon 6y agonow you ought to tell how it turned out!
- bhhaskin 6y agoI too would like to know how this turned out!
- StavrosK 6y agoYou can't just say that and then not follow up. It's literally against HN rules, read the ToS.
- kchoudhu 6y agoIf he's lying, it's an extremely elaborate set up https://www.bugben.com/ https://www.bugben.com/ ...check out his resume.
- ChrisLMB 6y agoI’m so glad I fired you.
- nippoo 6y ago... how did that work out for you?! Did you get fired? Did that exchange actually happen?
- xtat 6y agosad story ben!
