I'm not saying this because I'm opposed to anything wptw has said. He's as entitled to his opinions as I am to mine. I just saw this today, and it just really struck me as something wrong.

That is wrong... there is also the case of sellers on sites like eBay that make "alias" member names to bid on their own items to drive the price up.. while I do not know of any actual proven cases, I wouldn't be surprised if they do that also..
and I agree with Fuzzie's earlier comment about it's a matter of respect...
