Hey Y'all, this response really exceeded my expectations! Snark aside, linking me to the hiddenWiki was probably the most helpful single response. Im new to this kind of question in a lot of ways, so it's all been pretty helpful, debate about quotes aside.

Didn't create the hn identity via tor, but luckily after the one signup (not telling from where) I'm able to log in that way.

I guess the big question for a lot of people was "why?" and I bet no one will believe me when I say that this is an intellectual exercise for me, thus far. Sort of one way of getting at the deeper question of identity construction. Thus, the heath bunting reco was relevant.

The one piece of info that would really round this discussion out, though, is an examination of how the other side would attack a ginned-up id. Any insights, deep or googleweb would be appreciated.
