Hi jwr,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

Thanks so much for appreciating our dedication to our product. Security is incredibly important to us and we take the quality of our work very seriously.

Holy crap, this is annoying...

Eva - love your company and product, but you're spamming HN with this stuff. Update your profile to disclose your affiliation, up-vote the comments praising 1Password if you want, and answer questions candidly. Happy to see company reps participating in the conversation!

Just kill the "Hi so-in-so" and the boilerplate "I am Eva...". If all you have to say is thank you, upvote and leave it at that - your posts are taking up like 50% of the article commentary...

Adding to the other response here -- it's great to thank your customers, and you wouldn't want to hide that you're affiliated with AgileBits. But please bear in mind that people reading HN are here to read a discussion.

A good guideline is just "does this add useful/interesting content to the discussion?"; if not, think very hard before adding it.

Plus from the HN guidelines: Please don't sign comments; they're already signed with your username. If other users want to learn more about you, they can click on it to see your profile.

All that said, welcome to HN!

This is a little different. I think the disclosure is important. Maybe they could just be more succinct with it.

i've often felt that hn should support some sort of flair for people who want to make it clear that they are speaking for their company
