I was surprised when I first came here to see members openly admitting they were posting under a different name. I was used to sites banning people for registering under multiple user names - no questions asked. I got over the shock when I saw moderators here posting under a generic name. I guessed some of the mods here have regular user accounts.
When multiple user names are such an open part of the culture, I think it's inevitable that some people are going to abuse it. I don't particularly notice it unless the member says they're using a different name.
