Anyway, I guess this would be useful cluster the "Matt Walsh"-y commenters together.
Instead of just HN, now do it with the whole internet, imagine what you'd find. Then imagine that it's not being done already.
This is a bit tangential but I've noticed lots of comments aping the style of Matt Walsh. Not just on HN either, but probably more here than other places I visit. Anyway, I guess this would be useful cluster the "Matt Walsh"-y commenters together.

And j see different behavior and inconsistency with flagged messages (like one t…
