I tried dang's old account (gruseom) expecting to see his dang account listed. Nothing. Tried dang, sctb (a previous admin) was listed as closest match.
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.
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.
