What would that entail? I don’t think deleting all your submissions or all your comments is something that you should be able to do. That’s very disruptive and, well, HN never pretended that what you submit or write here would not be public. (That, to me, is the big problem with Facebook.)

Someone could, however, find out who is behind your username and that might be a problem. One thing HN maybe should allow you to do in such a case would be to replace all instances of your username next to your submissions or comments with “deleted”. No perfect – others replying to you might mention your username – but close enough.
