Some people are genuinely fairly new to HN. I only became aware of this place a few months ago in following the ACOUP blog.

But that's indistinguishable from astroturf accounts to an outsider so tell you what, I have a reddit account I've used for over a year and post regularly on. I've posted a link to your comment as a self-post on that account:

Feel free to let that additional internet footprint act as some kind of bona fides.

An interesting approach. Actually, quite smart I think because you have a deep high karma post history in there.

Well done.

I've got an older account if you still want to establish my sincerity although I lost the password and never was able to recover it. That doesn't count for much but if you chuck the corpus of it and /adotsapiens in an authorship verification program it'll spit out a match.

You'll find it's all consistent with a white British politically opinionated nerd between the ages of 20 and 25, employed in a succession of blue-collar jobs, because that's the real deal.
