I notice that I have been missed by these attempts even though I list my Google+ profile link in my HN profile. (I added that link after an earlier attempt by another participant to show a list of HN participants.) I use the same screen name I use here at two other sites I visit fairly often (I chose the screen name to fit the first of those sites several years ago), but of course I don't know who else uses this screen name at other sites I've never visited. In most places in cyberspace, and of course on Facebook and on Google+, I use my real name. It's interesting to see which connections between differing online names are readily made by Google, by HN participants with scripts, or by educated readers, and which connections are missed.
