I get the idea behind back in the day before spell check and auto correct you might be able to see where certain traits of certain authors are unique but these days its almost homogeneous. Unless you can see posters IP matching its a lot of assuming.
Most people here are secure enough to use their identity year after year. One or two others are unable to be that secure because they post things that are so out of order they either get banned or delete their posts and rejoin with a new username.
It doesn't need much assuming, the sock puppets give themselves away all the time and often they admit to it. There's a long history of sock puppets on Usenet and the internet and they always give themselves away because they either refer to something another of their socks posted, post the same crap they always posted, immediately refer to the admin as if they've known them for years, attack the same people hey always attacked before and even if they are new, somehow know the history even if it was from years ago.
Nothing to do with assuming, it's cold hard evidence.
