I don't think you'll get a reply to this because this article wasn't posted to Hacker News by its original author, and I don't think the original author is participating in this comment thread at all. You might want to find a different way of contacting the author.

I don't blame him for trying, the number of times I've seen someone pop into the comments of a submission saying "Hi I'm ________ and I wrote/made/did/worked on this" is pretty high on this website.

I'm 99% sure it was a joke, written in the style described in the article.

Could be! Poe's Law has come up pretty often on Hacker News recently; maybe I'm the latest "victim". :-)

It appears to be a reference to the part of the column discussing trouble crafting emails.
