Fair points. Though I'm sure the HTML template could be modified to not include the username of the person posting. Or people could use throw away accounts. Its doable.

Then you would have lots of throwaways, saying "I am looking for a job, I am good at X and Y, please contact me at [email protected]". I doubt it will have any success.

Of course this would happen. But do realize how much more valuable the whole site would be to the users and to YC. This should be tested.
