Good bye HN!
Dang (HN’s mod) just asked me to be identifiable and given that’s not a good fit for me, this will be my last post:

But that's not what they said. Were you asked to use your real name? Nothing stopping you keeping to one, anonymous sounding username
Once you've left enough comments, a motivated party has a good chance of identifying you based on the intersection of your (relatively uncommon) interests, various bits and pieces of the personal info that you tend to drop in comments etc.
I have a feeling you'll be back soon anyway.
EDIT: When I wrote this reply your comment was at the top. 2 minutes later it was at the bottom of the comment section. Looks like it was manually moved to the bottom of the comments by a moderator :(
