One person or very close friends?

If someone's gone to all that trouble, then good luck to them. Their reward is a personal and a somewhat lonely one as the rest of us cannot share in it or heap praise upon the cunningness of deed.

 

However, for those that create multiple accounts by mistake, (forgotten user-names and/or passwords etc.) and those just creating mischief, we will happily mop-up the mess and leave the place a little tidier than when we found it.

That is indeed true ... and even though I joke about tilting at windmills for sport and pleasure, it is often simpler to identify the miscreants and do nothing other than keep an eye on them than it is to chase them around the internet. (I have a list ). Sometimes it is a curious academic exercise for mental relief in idle moments when there is little to watch on TV other than re-runs of I Love Lucy; sometimes it is an earnest attempt to isolate a dastardly villain hell bent on bending hell and jacking a meaningless album up an equally meaningless chart, but most of the time it is like doing a crossword or a suduko puzzle - no cash prizes just plain amusement. Many things in life that are silly, and an immeasurable number that are a waste of energy, posting here, now, fulfils both criteria, yet we do it and will continue to do it as long as it amuses us.

 

The question I would have to ask is why go to all that bother of creating multiple accounts with dummy email addresses and diverting proxies just to access a simple website nestling in a quiet backwater off the main drag of the world wide web? If someone has gone to all that trouble, then the least I can do is amuse them by chasing my tail and barking like a tree.

 

I doubt they've voted in a Poll because they've only posed on the forum once in 2 years.

 

By the way, it's not my habit to seize the opportunity to vote more than once.
