Note that I think this allows you to "change" an address but does not give
you an easy way, from one browser, to create two posting identities (which
both link to the same real human being, and which both clearly show a way to
contact that human) that one can easily toggle between.
I speculate that it has to do with cookies as they are used to manage what
your identity is when using the web interface. I speculate that if you used
netscape to post under one identity and IE from the other you could do it. I
speculate that if you had two computers you could do it. But I haven't
tested to validate if that even works.
From NNTP again, I speculate that you'd have to use two different
newsreaders or at least two config file versions (which I think some
newsreaders allow).
Having said that, it seems mighty discouraging to have to jump through those
hoops to be able to participate as a fan.
