The accounts have nothing in common - not IP address, nor cookies nor names nor friends or anything. With the fake accounts I just added fake friends (Facebook was so kind to suggest them) and they approved me. I even wrote 'whats up' on some peoples walls and they replied. No idea who they are, seems people just need somebody to talk to. I am a bit of a privacy nut (multiple browsers, incognito, proxy servers, VPN's, multiple accounts online (including this site)) and I intentionally keep my person, work, online life etc. completely separate. So as interesting as it would be for you to test my accounts, it means I would have to kill you :)

A level so strict that if an identity gets exposed or authentication mechanism is bypassed that somebody, somewhere, will have to be killed. Now I await eagerly for an HN reader from a three-letter organization to chime in. ;)
