At the risk of this comment being equivalent to many other "this doesn't belong on HN" comments:

This is almost to the level of doxxing. Please consider removing, or at least changing the headline (nothing intrinsically wrong with highlighting comments from an interesting account).

Is it doxxing? Seems like people knew who he was at the time, and he was writing about himself in a fairly informal way.

I am annoyed, however, that for some reason you can still comment on these posts, which is a shame because it's like scribbling on Anne Frank's diary - even if well intended it's fairly tactless.

As soon i as i read "private" i cringed

If it was private. That was for a reason. The man had an awesome public persona and shared that with millions freely.

He clearly also wanted to participate as a regular human

Me too, considering there is nothing really "private" about posting on a public forum.

And he did that for a while, but he's now resting in peace, I doubt us reading his Reddit comments gonna change much about that.
