Sorry to burst the bubble but you can't rely on the result of this kind of analysis. Identifying people through their writing style isn't new, and you don't know they haven't already done a prior analysis and ensured their writing style doesn't identify them (or maybe matches to someone else on /r/anarchy).

Things that can be faked have every chance of being faked. Especially when it comes to hackers who need to cover their tracks daily.



Very true. My post was self-described guesswork and theory, but I wouldn't be so dismissive of it!
