What are the approved reasons to create a new account? Can you point me to a page supporting your assertion?

The last entry in the FAQ (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) says:

"Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create them routinely. On HN, users should have an identity that others can relate to."

There's room for interpretation here, but I think it's fair to say that the preferred default is the consistent use of a single permanent identifier. Do you prefer a different approach?
