Master Account?

What if instead of more than one account, you hacked it so that one account could have many public names that the user could switch between?

This might be a bit easier.

Thinking out loud here - conceptually, you would need to add a new dropdown to the profile, and have checks to validate any new public name created for uniqueness.

Then, it would be a matter of hacking your board to show public names, and not login names.

The posting forms would also need to be changed to contain the dropdown boxes of public names. By default, the login name would be there.

It would be an extensive hack, but I think it's probably doable.
