    Not sure if i can get away with this on Meta, we will see. I think these are the same person:
    http://mathoverflow.net/users/17806
    http://mathoverflow.net/users/18104
    http://mathoverflow.net/users/18106

    There appeared to be a dry run last week, where someone put an iffy question and an equally iffy answer under two I.D.'s, now on MSE as

    The question Moving the origin of an elliptic curve has a different level and feel from lowerbound's previous questions, but it seems very odd that user 18106 accepted lowerbound's answer (which, in fairness, is a riff on some snark from Theo JF in response to some other question).

    I'm not sure this is connected to Josh Green/Free Trade, which seemed more genuine, and could be a case about someone accidentally creating a new userID instead of logging in with the existing one.

    There was also: "That´s all the information that I have. If you think that it´s too simple, you should know the answer. Should I use the bayesian theorem?" in a comment after the other answer

    Also, earlier today, http://mathoverflow.net/users/17806 and a fourth identity asked separate questions on how to delete one's own question.

    Some of these are the same person, some are not. There is no point in carrying on further unless there is clear misbehavior, in which case contact the moderators directly rather than posting on meta.
