You can get rid of it if you email HN, if you behave :-D


As mentioned:

I intentionally stay anon online - it's how I was raised and how I think everyone should be. All of my various accounts have sprinkles of mistruths - nothing important enough to impact the discussion, but enough to keep it difficult to link them. I doubt dang (with good reason) would accept an email from an obviously burner address - what would be the point?

And "behaving" is the complex part. As I don't know what I was invisibly banhammered for, I'm unsure what needs correcting here.
