Because HN's account registration is darn right hidden. /s

  Not going to lie, I didn't know where the signup button is when I was trying to sign up for a throwaway. I simply gave up after that.

    I'm confused (HN newbie). Are you saying it's difficult to create an account here on HN? I just created one a few days ago to comment on a different topic. It couldn't be easier, I don't think I've ever created an account as easily as here. All I did was "reply" and it kicked me into a screen to choose a name and password. That's all. No email verification or anything complicated.

      The point is that there's no registration option if you click on the "Login" link in the top left. The idea is that a visitor can only register an account if they are planning on contributing a comment or post.
