FWIW, the author is very prolific and sane on hackernews(at least as far as I've noticed), so the post could be considered more trustworthy than a random post by somebody who has never participated here before.
- david927 4y agoAs someone with a 15-year-old account here, I can verify that Jacques is in a special, small group of members of this community with recognized user names -- based on a long and impeccable record of substantial knowledge and respected expertise.

- 35fbe7d3d5b9 4y agoCounterpoint: mulch your account every so often. It fights the development of cliques and forces people to focus on the message, not the messenger. And it sharpens your own need to make a good point, rather than posting as $KNOWN_USER and waiting for the clicks. I've done this roughly every ~1-2 years or so since I joined about a decade ago, so my ~8-9k of aggregated karma is spread across multiple accounts. On that topic, it's about time to rotate to a new one. Catch you all on the other side ;)
- wfhordie 4y agoI do this about once a week. It keeps me from caring about points. If people can't see past my green username status, then it's time to move on.
