That's why (after only one post) I was able to connect Peroon's 2 nicks. There are also other users here with more than one nick, but as long as they don't cause a problem then it's ok. There are even some users here with multiple nicks which they think I don't know about!

This is not the only method available to Admin. As they say, there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Big brother is watching...

Don't mess with a cat......in a sack!

Interesting and simple method you described there. I thought it was much more complicated!
If it was on my way; i would remotely read hard disk ID bytes, or router ID or something simillar....
But than again, for what? Not a big deal after all.
I can understand need for multiplied nicks. Me personally, i would like to dissociate one part of my character here from another. One part is dealing mostly with tech stuff closely related to VLF and PI metal detectors. Other part can deal with everything else on this forum. This is advantage and not drawback, also shows how rich this forum turned to be. Many interesting, yet much different subjects. Also i dont want to be annoying to other members showing myself everywhere with same nick, same avatar, same font....
Already got few remarks on my way of posting here recently. So.... 2 nicks to have is not sin at all. Of course, as long as no harm, from those, done here.
