One thing Mike's son could do is to write a short program to note the
machine addresses of the participants.
Tom can do this for people playing on his Diplomacy gaming site and

the
software has been developed to automatically flag up those people who
are trying to join under pseudonyms but using the same computer

Bas did the test just after me on my computer, using his own email
address (completely different from mine) and he hasn't received a

reply,
so perhaps they already pick that up.


Ah, of course! That would explain it. I mentioned the non-returns by
email yesterday, but I rather doubt that he has the facility to see
individual computers' identities in his automatically generated list of
emails. He will, by the way, of course delete all emails collected after
the experiment: that and other data protection matters should have been
mentioned in the introduction.
