Interesting, and probably true. But since making the second account 
forces you to use a different email address, how will we ever know with 
certainty that "you" and "you" are the same person?

- Sometimes I wonder. We're joyfully ignoring the world before us in the 
area of cartography, confessing to utter cluelessness in GIS affairs and 
still doing great. Nobody has ever recommended employing professional 
GIS consultants because, hey, "we're just geeks an programmers and they 
are GIS experts". We're also self-taught in most other aspects of 
running OSM, blissfully ignoring the professional world. Isn't it sad 
that when it comes to "legal", we've meanwhile almost reached the point 
where we send away 12-year-old mappers because they are not old enough 
to legally agree to the CT? (Why don't we, by the way?) (Oh no, sorry, 
delete that last question.)

Bye
