Daft question but...

... how do I sign in as another user?

I read many posts on here saying they are using a different user name than normal.

I have tried doing this myself but coming to register my new name (with the same email address) it won't let me.

Do people out there who have several user names also have several email addresses?

Confused?!

    or even better don't bother with yet another anonymous username(remember we don't actually know you!!).

    really don't see why people do this.

    only reason why i can think of is that they can continue to be hypocritical somehow.

    Or because you can be identified from previous posts and need advice on something without friends/famly realising it is you?

    Doesnt necessarily mean people do it for nasty reasons.
