He hasn't deleted his Hacker News Account yet. I don't believe you can delete an HN account.

  I think you can email pg to delete your account.

    PG does not typically delete accounts; he just disables the login. All of the comments and submissions are still there under the original name.

      The poor man's HN account delete: change email, change pass to random gibberish, logout. You're free. Until the next account.

        That's not necessarily the point. The most important use of a delete account functionality is to protect one's own privacy should you not want to be personally connected to statements you made anonymously.

          That's the great thing about the internet and pseudonyms :)
