I'm confused. Besides points, why would someone create multiple accounts on Answerbag?

Some people create multiple accounts so they can downrate others (trolls) or write questions/answers that they don't want attached to their profiles - like if they want to be mean or rude. Others I think may do it, if they have a valid personal question that they want to ask but also perhaps don't want other AB members to know about (ie. a sexual question)
-
i think its so they can show people they know one account full of legitimate questions and answers, and have a secret account where they ask questions they really want to know that may be embarrasing to them if other people they knew saw.
-
Personal questions they feel uncomrtable to talk about unless they have no alias.

I think like O_hare, that if one becomes well known/popular on here they may feel uncomfortable exposing their relationship/sexual/psychological, or just plain ignorance problems on here.

It could be a psychological experiment to see if people really are influenced by what is presented as Answerbag I.D. (avatar and name) - http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1102414

People used to use them to ask questions that they did not want people to attribute to them . things they felt embarrassed to ask. I have never been able to see the point in trying to keep more than one account running.

To revive their primary account's old questions. To attack ABers they don't like. To cause controversy.
