Ask HN: How to reach out to a commenter under an old submission (nick_m)?

3•jsumn•1h ago

Hello HN! I'm a long time lurker. It's only now that I've decided to sign up, when I read a comment by nick_m: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46511892

I'd like to help Nick (and have some fun reverse engineering), alas I've got no means of reaching out to them. Nick, if you're reading this, please leave some contact info. I figure it's a long shot, but... why not try?

Hopefully this submission is within the rules. If not, please let me know and I'll delete it.

If they wanted to make it possible to contact them they'd have left a contact link on their profile.

If they didn't, they don't intend to be contacted.

You can't. This is intentionally not possible.

nick_m created his (or her) account in 2018 and only posted 12 comments, all in that year.

Seems you may be out of luck.
