If you look at the headers for both they will have the same IP
address:

NNTP-Posting-Host: 72.197.142.200

I have no knowledge of these particular posters or their ISPs but I caution
readers not to assume that identical NNTP-Posting-Host addresses
automatically
mean the same user; some small ISPs assign RFC 1918 addresses to clients
and have a small block of public IPs exposed to the 'Net.

That isn't an RFC-1918 address. It belongs to Cox Communications, Inc.

Also, a public
access machine or a shared machine in a residence may conceivably be used
by different posters.

True, but DimBulb is infamous for sock-puppetry.
