Posters who are around on this board for a while should be fully aware that different people posting from the same account is not allowed. We have closed accounts of people who have been found doing this.
One person posting from more than one account or two people posting from the same account becomes quite problematic when trying to maintain some level of integrity and honesty in the reasoning and has been clearly forbidden in our Terms of Use.
Posters have tried to make it appear that there is support for their point by making up several personas, tried to make statements under different names to stir up controversy, or tried to hide behind a new username. Other posters have changed their usernames for whatever reason but they have made it public to avoid confusion. If you are having problems establishing two separate usernames/accounts for you and another person that use the same computer you could certainly have contacted the admin for assistance.
No one here is watching the boards all the time and we do rely on some people who notify us when the services are being abused.
