I was actually just curious. Usually when people create new accounts, it's because they want to say something they don't want associated with their main account. A few others do it to vote up their own comments. But neither seemed to be the case here. The reason I thought you weren't a new user was that you used HN's idiosyncratic markdown subset on your first comment. That's very rare. But if you say you're different people, I'll take your word for it.
