Ask HN: Two HN accounts, close one, change the other?

[HackrNwsDesignr]

I have two hn accounts. I'd like to close one, and change the username on the other. Are either of those things possible? Can anyone from HN answer this?

[Andrenid]

I believe the answer is "No, and no"... I've never seen anyone mention the ability to do either.

As far as I know, the only way to do this is to email PG and ask him to do it for you.

hm, his email isn't on his site. do you know where I can find it to ping him?

[sorbus]

[e-mail], I believe.
