It is a breach of the Terms and Conditions of this site to sign up with more than one username.
You agreed to this when you registered with Metropol.
I'm sorry, Agent and Jack Bauer, an IP trace indicates that you are one and the same person, and as such your membership to Metropol has been terminated.
Good luck with your writing career; but you'll have to post your messages elsewhere from now on.
Rules are rules.

Obviously in this case the two are linked, but please be aware Gav that some people who use ultra-crappy ISPs end up having an IP address which is the same as that of someone who lives in a nearby area (very sadly this used to be the case with me before I moved, thank god, and I'd go to web sites and it would say "You have downloaded more than 500 files from this site, pleas sod off".) I don't quiet undersatnd how it works because back then I had two IPs, one that was unique and one that was the same and was banned on lots of websites, including Wikipedia at one point.

Indeed there are a number of ways that many users can appear to originate from the same place.
In this case however I was quite thorough, and looked through his bedroom window with a set of binoculars.

I think the giveaway is that no other person, living or dead, would be interested in what he was on about.
For that reason, you're wrong, cdd.
