Why would montrose be pg ? The correlation is not that high. Looks like a few people have picked up pg's mannerisms.

Yeah, that score is only slightly higher than the highest one it shows for my account (which is also bold) - and unless my alter ego has been disguised so well it even managed to hide from myself, I'm pretty sure that isn't me :)
The score for montrose vs pg is lower than the score for someone most similar to me, who is definitely not me.
I think, the similiarity has to be in the high .80's to suspect that it's the same individual.
There are factors that make me think it is more likely than not (just scrolled through the comment history, don't feel like linking everything) that he is pg.
- Is bolded on pg's page
- Mentions yoga
- Talks about Lisp often
- Talks about YC often
- Talks about kids
- Links to Paul Graham's website
- Says he uses vi
- Writes exactly like you would expect pg to write
I agree that this person is trying very very hard to sound like pg ! You could be right actually. Could still be a "wannabe" though.
I'm sophisticately sure they are not. They recommend a founder to ask users directly what they will pay for.
Is that what PG would say?
Of course. Why wouldn’t he? That’s sound advice.
