Come now, if your definition is so strict then nobody is in that group. Its a very far cry from youtubers/guest speakers etc.

Maybe a lot of them are just 99% dark because they posted on HN a few times. But you might be surprised at how many people are nearly invisible on the web--and certainly professionally.
