How do we know that "Julia" is not just an alter-ego of "John?"

Holy sh*t, my blog got linked to sfsignal! I gotsta go sign me up for some Google ads, and quick.

Julia, don't hurry too much with these ads just yet. The links in the comments all have the rel=nofollow attribute, so you won't get any "link juice".
You did get a link, and people will click on it. But you get that any time you write a comment yourself. ;)

And John, that doesn't prove anything. I'm sure we all believe you're perfectly capable of opening a LiveJournal blog yourself, using an alias, where you can freely express your love of Haikus...
