Ask HN: Wouldn't it be great to be able to follow fellow HN users?

I just spent 15 minutes reading posts and comments by a specific user and really appreciated how detailed and humble they all where.

Each comment almost read like a good blog post so that made me wonder why I cannot follow this user.

I assume there are browser plugins that do this but I would really appreciate if it was a part of HN.

And just like upvoted posts/comments, it should stay private.
