user471: There is a Mike Olds who wrote this answer and this answer, with this account and this account. Both appear to be the same person, but writing different answers with different unregistered accounts.
It appears that on every new session he uses this site, he may be doing so as a different user.
This appears to be a problem. How can this be prevented or avoided?
And Mike Olds probably needs a fix.

user254: Users are allowed to use unregistered accounts.
I brought up this topic with him via comments once and he declined, saying (I forget the exact words he used) that he will no longer register on an internet sites (e.g. this site) -- so that's his choice.
Nevertheless each of his posts is welcome (good answers), and his meta-behaviour as a user is good (answering questions, not criticising other users, not using multiple accounts in order to evade moderation).
I believe he is the author/editor of http://obo.genaud.net/
