If I wanted to obscure my identity via text, changing my word choice, slang, colloquium, etc, would comprise my first naive attempt. I find myself changing the punctuation I use when pretending to be someone else, or trying to convey some personality traits that aren't natural to me. For example, one of my friends always puts a space before question marks and exclamation points.
I once ran Satoshi et al.'s writings through some simple stylometry service. If I recall correctly, my search pointed to Nick Szabo. A quick Google search shows that others have come up with Szabo, Finney or Dai. I am now super curious as to what the results would be if punctuation was analyzed exclusively... Unfortunately, I don't have time at the moment to pursue this tangent.
