It's totally hindsight driven, but the fact that he started every HN comment with the same "Jonathan here" type canned greeting should have probably raised an eyebrow.
(amending this: after reading up a bit I don't agree with my own original post. It's a very odd thing to do -- I don't ever see anyone on HN post like that -- but he's not a fictional person or anything like that.)
- zem 15y agoi just read that as mildly n00bish behaviour - he came to hacker news simply because the story was posted here and he wanted to make sure his posts were known to be from him.
- brianleb 15y agoFWIW his account is over a year old (though not very active). http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jonathanstark http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jonathanstark
- billiamram 15y agoIt looks like the same thing that happened this time. Someone posted an article of his to HN, then he created an account here to comment.
