A challenge, identify this HN user, I tried twice and failed

That's a good one, another poster above suggested something similar. I believe that HN'ers would play fair in something like this.

On the other hand that isn't proof of anything, but I think the changes are higher that someone will own up that didn't do it to throw sand in the eyes of the searchers than the reverse.

But then again, maybe I'm a sucker and I believe that people in general are honest and trustworthy. So far that seems to me to be a better assumption than the reverse.

you heard of this technique?

Relies on a person's vocabulary and writing style more than the actual words.

[edit: disregard - I hadn't read deep enough to see that this was essentially the approach you had taken]
