If one’s “cover is blown,” do you really think that that person’s posting style would not be easily recognizable in another persona?

It depends on:

1) How prolific a poster they are.

2) How distinct their style is.

3) How distinct their interests are.

For example, I don’t think my style is at all distinct, but my interests quite likely are.

If I wanted a “fresh start”, I’d keep off of the riddle, techie and do-it-yourself threads. (Of course, that would somewhat squelch my reason for being here.)

Several years ago when the book “Primary Colors” written by “Anonymous” was issues, there was quite a bit of speculation as to who the author was. Several possible suspects were named, among them writer Joe Klien.

Klein denied it.

A computer program written specifically to identify writing styles positively identified Klien.

Eventualy, Klein admitted that he was the author.
