Hello you beautiful babies! Glorious and amazing every one!

If you were blindfolded and a stranger was reading a GD thread to you but without telling you who had written the comment or post which of the following could you identify with a degree of confidence?

Group A - you could guess the poster using less than 3 sentences in one of his posts.

Group B
- you could guess the poster based on his /her whole post (assuming it is more than 3 sentences)

Group C - you would need more than one post to to identify the poster with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

Flavour your examples with names like you would add seasoning to develop depth and flavour if you like that sort of thing.

e: to correct my appalling spelling mistake in the thread title which SexyGreyFox pointed out at least twice and I completely missed. Thank you sir.

Honestly I don't think this is possible. I can do it kind of in reverse, e.g I see who has posted last, and before I'm in the thread I already know what rubbish they are saying, but I cant ismgine many could say have it that all usernames are removed and then just reading threads and they'd know who wrote what.

Maybe I'm wrong.
 
Group A:
Roar87 because he's so awful.
Tony Edwards and VincentHanna because they're so wonderful.

Am I doing this right?
No, your Group A would be: Roar87, Tony Edwards, and VincentHanna. That is, and without inflection of preference or alignment to their views, you could guess the poster using less than 3 sentences in one of his posts.

Nicely done.

Oh I see. Here I was thinking this was just another passive aggressive but *just about* acceptable stealth praising/dunking on people thread! Silly me.
