If this is going to turn into freeform things that are way-past-their-welcome, I'll go ahead jump on my hobbyhorse again and replead with Matt to address the sock-puppet issue. Mutliple accounts are fine, as long as we know who the people are using the multiple accounts. There is not a single argument in support of people having different account that are not associated with their main. The whole purpose of having screen names is to have source identifiers in order to develop community; sockpuppets ruin that when we can't tell where certain comments come from. So, make some list on the user page like "other accounts associated with this user."
This is clearly a good and awesome pony. This pony should be at the front of the line. Its way gooder than the other ponies. And if Matt doesn't give us this pony, then it must be because he doesn't want us to know who his sockpuppets are!

This bugs me for two reasons. 1) It was never that clever to begin with, and by now, it's totally played. 2) Once you get "inside," the [more inside] tag is gone, and the question just hangs there unfinished. As in:
