I know this is probably not a favorable comment & I'm not siding with anyone so here goes.. I personally don't have a problem with alts. They're not just added on as a plus1 or anything. They are their own account. You can't know the reasons one would have only 1 or many.. at least they are coming on line honorably and not using a stolen acct etc to cheat the system.
Gotta love it when you miscalculate something then throw up about it, HAHAHAH SO FUNNY I love feeling regret! So fun!
Don't worry about it. You are definitely Not the first one to do so and I'm sure not the last. It's called keepin 'em on their toes. =D
