Be smart: rotate your online accounts regularly. Do it on reddit, HN, any place where changing your identity is relatively cheap (FB unfortunately is not one). Also unfortunately, pg doesn't allow deleting accounts on HN. Who knows why. So for HN, just stop posting on your current account, and start a new one, hoping pg wakes up and lets us delete our accounts in the future.
