I wouldn't rely on these results
You picked a user who posts a massive volume of repeat, template-y comments and found their former colleague who also posted piles of repeat, template-y comments, that being part of both of their jobs.
There are a few close matches to dang's style of template-y comments in the results. Afaik none of the listed accounts are Daniel.
I picked dang as he is the figurehead of hn, and didn't want to inadvertently reveal some other user's identity.

At least the #1 close match (sctb) was a comoderator with dang, so they were kind of alts as the official voice of HN.
