Default "Stylistic evidence" - an example from the Expert - no, Nearly an IM!

Here's an example of Innes using his fine ear for stylistic evidence
in identifying anonymous posters.

Lynne - Who would those reasonable people be? Paul Crowley, KCL,
gangleri, Chess One, Art Neuendorffer, Elizabeth, Stephanie Caruana,
Mousie, Roger Stritmatter? I don't think so. Stick to kiddie books,
they probably don't tax your mind!

thanks neil, kiddie books are informing of the early mind, and early
learning is pyschologically so much more important than late, doncha
think?

I'm not "seaker"; Lynne .... addresses
"seaker" as "Robert", which is hardly a nickname for "Neil".

Nor is seaker's style remotely similar to yours, Neil.

And in a follow up post:

There is certainly no implied criticism of either of you, Neil; your
styles are just very different. However, many anti-Stratfordians seem
to be utterly tone-deaf to stylistic nuances, so perhaps Mr. Innes's
confusion is not surprising. Indeed, confusion seems to be his steady
state.

Sorry, Phil. I have been calling seaker Robert for ages. He is
definitely not Neil.

Regards,
Lynne
