Yeah, that score is only slightly higher than the highest one it shows for my account (which is also bold) - and unless my alter ego has been disguised so well it even managed to hide from myself, I'm pretty sure that isn't me :)

The score for montrose vs pg is lower than the score for someone most similar to me, who is definitely not me.

I think, the similiarity has to be in the high .80's to suspect that it's the same individual.

There are factors that make me think it is more likely than not (just scrolled through the comment history, don't feel like linking everything) that he is pg.

- Is bolded on pg's page

- Mentions yoga

- Talks about Lisp often

- Talks about YC often

- Talks about kids

- Links to Paul Graham's website

- Says he uses vi

- Writes exactly like you would expect pg to write

I agree that this person is trying very very hard to sound like pg ! You could be right actually. Could still be a "wannabe" though.

Of course. Why wouldn’t he? That’s sound advice.

YC startup videos recommend not asking users directly what they will pay for.

Users freq. say they will pay for something but back down against other things.

With all due respect:

I think you are very likely to be wrong.
