Thanks, I really don't know about these diagnosis. And I was not referring to this place alone.
So, you are saying it's practically impossible a person would create two enduring identities to the same forum, and not know about it.
The opposite is very common, accounts are created on purpose to fool others. It could become a nuisance to regular members, who can't view all the info, unless staff takes care of these cases.
It would have been kind of funny, if it were possible to witness scenario, where a person is so confused, he/she does not know, they are interacting with themselves. Opposed to a more likely scenario, where a single person creates alternate accounts to toy with someone, who thinks is talking to several individual people.
