changing user profile for personal post

Hello all,

close friend of mine is a poster on here. He wants to ask a personal question, he can't/won't talk to me about it - it's a man thing ladies!

He wants to post under another name so his OH or anyone he knows will not know it is him posting. Every time he tries to register under another name it says that his e-mail address is already in use.

What does he need to do? Does he have to create another e-mail address?

Please can anyone help/advise? I don't know what he has to do. I have noticed other people have created another "personality".

He seems so miserable that the sooner he gets this off his chest the sooner

Took him long enough (and several JD's) to ask me what to do, and I have known him for over 35 years)

Thanks in advance

    Tell him to set up a fre hotmail or yahoo email addy, he'll then be able to use that to register.
