I do know that there is an entity on HC (a poster or several posters) who mischievously & maliciously create multiple nics & post under those nics in a manner that resembles an existing poster who the entity wishes to discredit.
This entity (using one of the multiple nics) will then 'accidently' sign off with the target posters name so that the targeted poster is 'sprung' using multiple nics & then viewed with suspicion by other members.
Beware - there is a very grubby element operating on Hotcopper.
