It's funny. Often, when I'm reading a thread, and scroll down, and see just the first few sentences (but not the "posted by"), of a reply, I can immediately tell who it's written by.
For example - I can nearly always tell when it's striatic. He often uses short sentences, and puts spaces between them (ETA: he also tends not to use capital letters):
kinda like this.
or this, sometimes.
or maybe like this

Or emdot. She uses smileys a lot. I mean that in the best of ways. I use smileys CONSTANTLY :D
There are a couple others that I can't really pinpoint the reasons for, like Laurali or Hburger. (ETA: I realized what it is with Laurali: she tends to leave off periods on the ends of paragraphs.)
Anyway, it's interesting. And kind of freaky. Anyone else notice this? :)
