Just for the record Punaweb has no rule against anyone using more than one user name. This has occurred over time for a variety of reasons. Sometimes a member has forgotten a password or the user name and I am unable to retrieve the info so they set up another user name. Could be a variety of reasons. Anyway it is allowed.
There is a difference in internet terminology between "sock puppet" and "alt". An "alt" is an alternate identify. A sock puppet is generally considered to be someone who creates an alternative identity to pretend there is support for their positions when there really isn't. Kind of like singing Happy Birthday to yourself. It is generally considered inappropriate.
I am going to post some info soon regarding netiquette and ask people to review the rules of Punaweb. You can find them here:

This topic is supposed to be about a proposed biofuel plant and is wandering way off topic.
