Oh you got me, I didn't read the policy when signing up. Like 98% of people. Yet from a site dedicated to creating the modern web, I assume modern web practices are followed. Even 20 years ago in forums you could go through and delete your posts and edit your comments to blank. Add in 20 years of "we should be able to delete our accounts!", I had figured HN follows this practice. Whatever, I don't care, I just make a new username once every few months.
