Why do that, though?
Edited to add, it's also against the HN guidelines:
"Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to."

- throwaway5959 4y agoI didn’t and don’t do that. This account is 9 months old and my only account.

- grog_tremor 4y agoI was unaware of the guidelines. For a long time I was only a lurker here. I won't contribute any other way however. Perhaps I don't feel comfortable having an "identity others can relate to". That said, off I go back to read-only mode. Arrivederci.
- TheHappyOddish 4y agoI do the same. Anonymity is important to some here and not others and I think that's fine, despite the guidelines.
