Agian, on our school we have internet via a LAN, so we all use the same connection, that's why we have the same IP.
And would be the good of registering twice ?
The term is "sock puppet". More than a few net.kooks will create one or more fake second accounts, trying to make it look like there are others who agree with him/her. The goal, basically, is to make it look as if said kook has support beyond his own delusions.
It's been done before, in multiple WC forums (usenet, e-mail, web boards, etc), although generally the attempt is so transparent that it takes very little time to figure it out (often in the time it takes to open up the full headers of a usenet or e-mail post).
(For the record, I'm not sure either way, in regards to whether there's sock puppetry afoot *ahem* in this case. To be honest I'm not sure I really care, either.)
