It’s a good idea I think, yet I’ve never been emailed in the 11 years I’ve been here. Maybe the things I say aren’t interesting enough :). Then again, I never emailed anyone either. I did have one scary encounter a few years ago on HN where someone tried to aggressively dox me, that led me to remove my email completely, but now I just obfuscate it a bit.
I guess my main concern these days is that I said a lot of things on HN that I sort of regret now. Way too cynical and negative at times. I’m not sure I’d want a future employer going through my comment history! So I try not to make my personal link too obvious, and I suggest the same unless you are always guarded in what you say here.
