This morning I had to use an alternate email account to get into the one I normally use and I got to thinking about back when I was on Y/A. At one point I must have had a half dozen accounts. Most of them I didn't actually use to answer questions, but I would occasionally have them drop by to upvote answers.
There's a certain SW user I won't name who I remember from Y/A ( I don't think she's active here now anyway). We didn't know each other but I got good at spotting here answers due to a catch phrase she often used. It was really easy to find the questions that interested her and I would go through the ones that were in voting to find her answers and upvote them. It wasn't unusual for me to find several of her answers in a short time frame and give them enough votes to get her best answer. A lot of these were questions that weren't exactly popular so it should have jumped out at her that something funny was going on with the upvotes, especially that many that close together.
