As an aside. Are you posting via a throwaway because: (a) You worry about HN attacking you with downvotes, or (b) You have a somewhat publicly identifiable username and worry this type of wrongthink could be punished by the modern-stasi movement?

(my money is on B).

Some people have a main account with "throwaway" in the name. Perhaps they just like oxymorons? And many throwaway accounts are not eponymous. You have to look at the account history, not the name, to tell the difference.

Bingo. Case in point, this is my "main" account :)
