The thread in which old HN account Slade is revealed as Ivan's forum troll alt.
« on: March 16, 2009, 10:19:25 AM »
The old HN account, Slade, is hereby revealed as Ivan's forum troll alt. He chose the eponym (edit: by which, of course, I mean pseudonym.) because it would be easy for early '00's hacker teens to phonetically mangle. QED: 514d3. Hectar.

Thread delivers? Discussion?

GUDBUY 2 JANE is still my favourite Slade track. It's like the distilled essence of a song.
