Seems like it would be impossible to simulate anyone who isn't chronically publicly online?

I'm chronically online but I have very few public profiles anyone could glean anything from. (And even the one I'm posting this with here is in the queue for deletion... supposedly... I should probably check on my request.)

It’s very rare that dang actually satisfies deletion requests as it leaves gaping holes in the historic HN threads. You see this constantly on Reddit and it’s a major problem. For that reason, it’s best to follow the policy of not posting something online that you don’t intend to be permanent.

My intent wasn't to redact my comment history (I also value that permanence), just remove attribution/profile and any ability to log in so I stop being tempted to comment further.

just post your password, I'm sure we can get you locked out
