First I've heard of that meaning. On Usenet I always took it to mean
someone posting under multiple aliases. I may be wrong, but I may be
typical in understanding it by that meaning.


The links you include below appear to me to be unrelated to the
meaning traditionally used on Usenet. To avoid confusion, you might
want to modify your accusations by saying they are parrots, or
parroting, or brainwashed, or something other than sock puppets.


If we can't tell one from the other, and they both serve the same
purpose, why do they need two names.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck,
you've got a duck.

Considering their actual motives, I guess we could call the real
people "suck puppets".


No, you can, the rest of the universe will call them posters, fjukkktard.
