The only drawback is that they seem to be coming from the Administrator (although, with this setup, no one will know — the author’s name isn’t displayed). You can always change the authorship later, but what a drag.

On my family forum I have several personae with different “voices.” Sometimes they actually attack one another. One of my avatars is a sort of agent provocateur.

Sometimes I remember who I am, sometimes I don’t. Just like in real life.
