What amazes me is that as much as I read HN, there are still people in the top 10 whose comments and submissions I've never seen. I wonder if they got all their karma years ago and it's taking this long for everyone else to catch up.

To be fair, some of them mostly submit stories (compare e.g. tptacek and fogus; the first has lots of comments but few stories, the other is the other way round.)

That's almost exactly what I'm not interested in. There are some very interesting people with account who post very infrequently, but their comments, in the context of who they are, is very interesting indeed.
