My post about BBC Breakfast's montage of folk who had suffered bereavement in May 2020.......

Genuine question.
What do you gain from having multiple accounts?

Jimmy, this is a subject that's been debated often on here.
I use a different name on Facebook and other social media sites - which some may understand.
If I comment on Youtube, in common with many folk, I use a name that is not mine. The practice is never debated.
No-one uses their real full name on here - so why the concern about 'multis'?
Why do so many writers use nom de plumes?

Not using your real name on here is not the same issue as having multiple accounts.

How is having multiple accounts an 'issue'?
It's the posts that are the important thing on here.
Who wrote them is totally immaterial.

I'm thinking of changing my avatar.
Is that an 'issue' too?
Will folk not be able to pigeon-hole my posts as a result?

'Issue' as in 'what is being discussed here'

Anyway, if it's immaterial, why not tell us your other account names?

Never understood a multi or those that re appear with a new name
