The HN guidelines [0] ask you not to sign your comments. Your username is already on your comment, and people can click your username to see any further information you include. If it's directly relevant to the discussion at hand, you might say it once in the form "source: I'm a [whatever]", but please don't repeat it. Otherwise, it's just clutter.

- tptacek 12y agoAnd, adding to 'lotharbot: in case you're feeling stung by this rather superficial and perhaps confusing subthread: we don't have a lot of input from dentists here, and it's very cool to have one commenting. We very much appreciate the injection of new expertise! Just put what you'd put in your signature into your profile instead. :P Welcome to the site!
