Saw the term sockpuppets and think it is very different from the sockpuppets I know. These to me are what I call sockpuppets. Puppets made from socks.

OK, now I have to go check up on this term to learn the new meaning.
Lamb Chop by Shari Lewis was my all time favorite Sock puppet.

MTV had a sockpuppet show in the later part of the 90s called The Sifl & Olly Show :lmao:

On internet forums an extra account someone has is called a sockpuppet. In other words if Mountain Goat was also posting as Matrix Glitch, I would be MG's sockpuppet.

Sockpuppets are used by an actor to either mimic the actor's words, or to provide a controllable foil for the actor's opinions -- the same purposes for when a member creates another on-line account.

Sockpuppets, trolls, and spam mean something different on the internet.

Ahh... But how do you know I don't have other accounts in my name? I am on a few different sites as MG as well as this one. :D

That's not unusual. I've done the same in the past. Although these days I have a different name for each site I'm on. As far as I remember. I might have the same name for a couple I'm hardly ever on.

I was going to post here as Mountain Goat, but you beat me to it. So I settled for another combination of MG :lol:

I will say though that I only have one account per site that I am on and I am not on many sites as there is only so much that I can keep up with.

I remember Lamb Chop really well, but for some reason I don't remember Hush Puppy.
