I was on the verge of leaving HN for a while because of the level of comments, especially the particular story in question, with ScottHanson etc on it. You're done a fundamentally good thing, in my opinion. To catch a thief: I think it's very revealing that the person who was able to recognize this was somebody who has spoofed accounts themselves, and who has insulted other people "a lot" on HN and therefore knew the normal response. I kind of hope that the perpetrator also has an opportunity to redeem themselves - and who perhaps, one day, might be enabled to do something similarly good as a direct result.
