New multiple handles???
It hasn't been that long since the flame war about multiple handles but it seems to me (or maybe I am dreaming) that in the last month or so there have been quite a few new posters with identical names or registration times. I'm not going to dob anyone in (point a finger at anyone) but has anyone else noticed this? Hint: 
check under "T" in the airlines section... and it's not only confined to that. What was the point of introducing IP logging if newcomers are having a ball with multiple handles at the expense of serious travellers who just want to help each other?

Spider,
I was just noticing that as well.
Only time will tell if that will lead to the hostile environment we seem to have left behind in the year 2000.

wharvey. Try a US airline board starting with "C" is what I think Kitty Hawk is alluding to. Sorry, no more hints allowed. 
The usual suspects, the usual problem - only selected opinions are acceptable there, even if they are correct.
(And be warned, they may call you William if you are not careful. )

IP logging can be circumvented by simply using a different ISP for each handle. How many "million hours free" CDs from AOL have you received? How many free ISPs does Costco, K-mart, etc give away?
It truly is a shame that people have nothing better to do than stoop to this.
I'm sure it is happening as well.
