Are your reasons totally innocent, to perhaps protect your own security and privacy or are your motivations more sinister which you would care to share with us. We won't tell anyone....promise.

One. It is very old. At the time I thought I was registering a comedy user name rather than my actual identity. I use it for SFL and 'the list'.

I think I effed up again. I have 9 email accounts all in outlook now but its a PTA. None of them are dodge, just consultancy work and a coupla personal ones

SFL? The Sexual Freedom League?.... the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour?....or perhaps the Svenska Frimurare Lägret, though I would understand your reasoning for not revealing too much about the latter.

I have 3 email accounts but none are false identity - each serves a very different purpose.

It would be folly to think that an email address can keep you anonymous - someone knows who you really are ....

If I need a false ID for whatever reason I will use Guerrilla Mail or something similar.

I have one for when I was editor of a publication and I wanted to spice up the comments and start an argument, I didn't want to use my real identity for this so used a false email address. It still exists, although I haven't used it for years.

It's not unknown for NSC users to have a spare account for exactly the same reason.
