I'd be quite content with the option of hiding mine. There's zero programmatic value to me or any other HN readers (we don't have sub-HNs we have to moderate ourselves), and I tend to determine credibility by reviewing a person's past submissions and comments rather than gleaning a simple score. For what little that's worth.
