How well do I know you

ATTENTION PLEASE: I would like your assistance in keeping me amused!
I want to test how well I know you all. With this in mind I have turned off IP address logging, and am temporarily allowing anonymous comments. I would like you to leave a comment , saying exactly what you might say anyway, but doing so anonymously so that I can see if I can recognise you from your writing style. A minimum word limit of 20 words, perhaps?
I know it makes the whole commenting lark a lot more artificial (especially as all you have to comment on is me talking about you commenting), but humour me? I'm fascinated to see if I can spot people purely from the style in which they write. If this post doesn't inspire you then feel free to comment here in response to another post (but let me know which one!).
(Only disclaimer: if you never usually comment on my journal, or even worse never comment here or update your own journal, then you're not really qualified to join in the game as I don't stand a chance. Unless you're someone I know really, really well in Real Life.)
So comment, pretty please! Say anything you like, really, provided you don't deliberately change your style just to fox me.
And if I guess wrong (and I bet I do) then don't be offended...

Date: 2005-11-05 04:39 pm (UTC)If I want to stay in my natural voice, that probably means babbling and taking several sentences to make a simple statement, so here you go. The twenty word minimum limit is certainly no problem for me! Is this enough for you to go on, or would you like me to talk about something specific?

This must be more than 20 words....

Date: 2005-11-06 01:16 am (UTC)I *have* occasionally commented in your LJ, and you in mine, but seldom. I do write with punctuated intermittent vigour in my own LJ, and this is reasonably authentic as to style. Some spelling clues alone should help narrow this down for you.
I'm not sure what else to say that isn't too arbitrary or gets too far into game-theorying "am I being too obscure? Too easy?", so this might be a reasonable place to stop.
I'm not being deliberately cryptic, and I shan't be offended if you have no idea who I am. I doubt I'd guess you were the tables turned. 8->

Date: 2005-11-06 02:02 am (UTC)However, by saying that you want to know whether you can recognize people purely by style, aren't you making an arbitrary distinction between form and content? Form IS content!

Date: 2005-11-06 10:02 am (UTC)I think I would find this hard if I were the guesser. You would get so many variations on the same theme: 'but I can't think of what to say!' Maybe it would be easier if you provided a theme for people to write about?
I might be wrong, though, because I've guessed at least two of yours -including one that you thought was me.
