All the Cluster Bs have distinct communication styles, which is true IRL as well. And within each PD there seems to be various subgroups. Like, for example, with BPD, there are a few different types of BPD communication style. A BPD woman with NPD traits (what's called a Queen Borderline --- I guess sort of like a Queen Bee, or perhaps the Queen Alien in the movie Aliens) has a communication style that is almost like she is projecting an image of herself as she speaks/writes/whatever. Other types of BPDs don't have the same communication style though. Your garden variety BPD has more of a frenetic energy to her communication style.
Cerebral NPD communicates differently than Somatic NPD (hypothetical categories anyway) but both have a tendency to be verbose and to introduce wit into the conversation on a regular basis (both to keep the charm on and to avoid true intimacy or a genuine connection).
ASPD from what I've seen communicates more like a, "normal" person, which makes sense because they don't want to be detected. I think there are probably some tells, like the past tense thing mentioned upthread. Also, dark chocolate.
Per the suggestion upthread, yeah, anyone with NPD and/or ASPD is going to get bored with posting and abandon the forum, and then come back and post, and abandon the forum again, and so forth.
