It's also remarkably consistent in style with the other troll posts here, and 
totally unlike Bjarne's style.

I would say that is a very hard thing to pull off.

I know a guy who got pasted enough in an online forum that he "disappeared" and 
re-emerged a while later under a new pseudonym. He got outed within a couple 
days, and accused me of ratting him out to the other forum members. I told him 
that was hardly necessary, as I pointed out that he often used some unique stock 
phrases, and repeated them under his new name. Everyone immediately knew it was him.

He did a few more name changes, and tried pretty hard to hide his style, but 
people always caught on. He finally gave up and just accepted that people knew 
who he was, and he got gently ribbed about it now and then.
