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.
Indeed, and I don't expect a large operator like Cox to do it, but some ISPs
NAT their clients with RFC-1918 addresses, all of which translate to a single
public IP, ergo, many NNTP users may all originate from a single IP.
