The "email" field in your HN profile is not shown to other users. You need to put it in your "about" field if you want it to be public. Many people don't realise this.

(The same is true for you, Eilene - your email address is hidden. If you want people to be able to email you, click your username in the top right of the page, and add it to your "about" section.)

Didn't know it wasn't shown, I've added to the about section of my profile. Long history with dope, happy to share if it'll help you.

edit: I'm a senior software engineer

so dope meaning weed right?

No..

edit: found email info

It's probably easier to provide your email or put it in your profile, many commenters might not want to associate their username with a public comment.

thanks. Will do that now.
