Fun fact 4: OP (notamanager) account is brand new, these are his first posts (not that its not probable), yet, here he/she is with all the fun facts and actively commenting and making a investigative counter case.
>Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.
This user isn't revealing sensitive information, and it seems like they are trying to hide a conflict of interest.
- THE name is green for a reason. - OP can declare in a public domain that he has no conflict of interest by any direct or indirect means.
As a long time member of this community, it is a simple and just request. You may choose to diverge the attention elsewhere for your own motives or beliefs.
OP: please declare that you are free from any conflict of interest.
Thank You.
