Know your PH posters?
Discussion
How many of you can read a post and immediately know who made it without reading their name in the left hand column?
I've got a few that I spot instantly - some of them for better reasons than others.
Often I can just read the title of a post and get a good hint as to who will post in there and likely I'll already have an idea of what they're gonna say.

I can distinguish my own posts without looking at my name
Bloody Hell! Here's a name I'd never seen before I farted and I look to see 19 months 6045 posts!
Good effort you can borrow my pencil any time

Yep,
When I'm reading PH on my p900 I can only get the post itself on the screen and not the screenname, so it's quite fun to guess the poster sometimes!
Obvious ones for me are :
derestrictor (for his elegant and imaginative prose)
v8thunder (because I agree with almost everything he says)
outlaw (
)
streetcop
Others like Gazboy, vixpy1, pwig, and mungo are sometimes distinguishable, but hardly having met any people on here I get confused between them sometimes!

They are both 'short'. Otherwise it's a cinch. PWIG is the one with the glasses
I have never met a single PH'er in "real life", but as my read/post ratio is very high I can tell quite a few people from their posting style, well theres a couple who are obvious. You can always tell posts made by Derestrictor, LosAngels et al. Then there's loads I could get in a few guesses.
Lauguage is obviosuly a big pointer, but only for a limited number of people (the really obvious ones) the others I recognise are down to a strong opinion on a matter (regardless of if I agree or not)
Any thread with asylum seeker, drugs, country going to the dogs, scamera, hunting etc in the title will have the same people posting the same opinions (a leading cause of threads polarising and derailing as the opposition jump in). I must say I am guilty of this at times though - the drugs threads usually have me getting my smiley t-shirt and tie dye trousers out before composing a post.
