Re: ID of anonymous posters via word analysis?
People interested in fingerprinting anonymous posters might be interested in a Markov tuple analysis program that was posted to the net eons ago. It should be in the '85 or '86 comp.sources under the name markov3. I recall that this was a program that fed enough posts from a given poster would create another post in their "style"; it was kinda fun.

I found it in a net.sources archive (which should give a trip through the wayback machine for some old-timers...) You can now get it via anonymous ftp in ftp.cc.utexas.edu:/pub/cypherpunks/utils/markov.shar.gz jim
