EDIT: For anyone confused with these replies to the deleted post, it was saying that throwaway accounts are not welcome on HN. I disagree. This is a discussion forum, and what is important is the content and quality of the comments. If someone has something significant to say, but does not want it associated with their normal account, then it is much better for them to post that comment as an anonymous account than not post it. It seems like your complaint is that he is being upfront about the fact that he is using an anonymous account. This has the benefit of not polluting the username pool, and making it clear that he is using a secondary account. Having said that, I don't get why you were downvoted.
