Upon further reflection, maybe I should just keep using it.

Demonstrating that multiple people could have access to the account makes an excellent case for plausible deniability. In the right circumstances a court could compel HN to distinguish between these users (or at least, prove that the "multiple" aspect is a fiction), but the existence of doubt minimalizes the professional risk. This feels like about the right level of security for unpopular political meta-comments of this sort.

Maybe for the former, the latter is true without a doubt.

So you claim!
I agree with them. Whoever they happen to be!
