I guess I'll clarify.
Usually a returning poster already has some familiarity with certain topics / other posters / debates and so will almost immediately "pick-up" where they left off. It's obvious. For example some posters hate dogs, some get into racial issues, some hate stampede.
If someone comes back as a new member and immediately brings in a strong opinion on certain topics, it is hard not to link it back to old posters.
(I also admit it is not going to be 100% true that new poster hates x topic and so = old member everytime)
