Hello HN! I'm a long time lurker. It's only now that I've decided to sign up, when I read a comment by nick_m: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46511892

I'd like to help Nick (and have some fun reverse engineering), alas I've got no means of reaching out to them. Nick, if you're reading this, please leave some contact info. I figure it's a long shot, but... why not try?

Hopefully this submission is within the rules. If not, please let me know and I'll delete it.

If they wanted to make it possible to contact them they'd have left a contact link on their profile.

If they didn't, they don't intend to be contacted.

nick_m created his (or her) account in 2018 and only posted 12 comments, all in that year.

Seems you may be out of luck.

To get this information, click on your own user id and edit the URL to use the other person's id.

Or just click on their id if you have something they wrote.

You can't. This is intentionally not possible.
