Yeah, when Richard Lewis first appeared, he went through a stage where
he'd get confused from time to time and post from Tony's email account
instead of his own.

This behavior is known as "sockpuppetry" -- using a pseudonym to post
things in support or defense of yourself. I really like that word and
the image it evokes.

For some amusing revelations about a somewhat well-known
columnist/author who apparently engages in it, google "sockpuppetry
greenwald" (sans quotes).

If you're going to adopt multiple identities, it helps if they each have
their own email and/or IP address (and you keep them straight). ;-)
