Even without the Moderator tag, I think I could pick you out of these pretenders from your word choice and "penmanship."Either you just complimented my writing or mocked my handwriting....hmm...
On the web, one's spelling, grammar, punctuation, and writing style are judged much as penmanship was in pre-computer times. It's a good thing, too. My actual handwriting is atrocious.
You tend to show some concern for using standard writing around here. Anyone using CAPSLOCK is obviously not you. Anyone who fails to capitalize the first word in a sentence is obviously not you. We all make occasional mistakes, but anyone who gives two shits about correct use of the English language on the Internet tends to stand out in a crowd of users that are less careful.
Even if they don't successfully imitate your "voice," I'll admit that some of the parodies they made were pretty funny to watch. Of course, in my circle of friends, if you have a flaw or quirk, everyone will use it to tease you, so you have two choices - eliminate the quirk or accept it as a part of who you are and learn to laugh at yourself.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled randomness...
