    mike_c: because when you start putting random qualifiers on good answers, you get scammed.
    
    xanthyos: my question was only if there was a way to merge so rerating wouldn't be an issue if one could prove via gribble to simultaneously own two accounts
    
    mike_c: that would be a bug, not a feature.
    
    mike_c: someone can move my rating to a different account?  that's silliness.
