What's the purpose of Aliases in online forums/article comments?

Or 2.
Isn't it OK to have two as long as you do not talk to yourself?

Some people have multiples. It's usually kinda obvious though.

It's kind of tough if you have a alter ego. Then you have to keep up with what he is doing and what you are doing. It can get very confusing. Now, who did I post under??????

I didn't realize some people posted under multiple names. What would be the purpose? An alias is much different than an alter-ego. The latter suggest a possible psychological disorder.

Maybe part of it is the fun of having an alter ego.

....or multiple personalities! There really are a lot of crazy people out there.

On the other hand, I'm one of maybe 10 people I can think of on the board who actually has a picture of me as my avatar...

And me!

Poppy is my real name, just ask my grandkids.

I use "singinchicken" because it was the login name I have always used for everything. One less thing to remember. On the other hand, I'm one of maybe 10 people I can think of on the board who actually has a picture of me as my avatar...

Don't listen to him, it's actually my picture he's using.

I hope this doesn't bust too many bubbles, but "Mark Twain" wasn't really "Mark Twain", and Bob may not be Bob.

i ain't bob, but i am.
