Is there not a distinction between "second account" and "sockpuppet"?
IMHO, a second account used only for editing is not a sockpuppet -
that term only applies when the second account is used in !voting,
discussions etc. There's no (iirc, could be wrong) real prohibition on
having multiple accounts that just quietly edit away, if they're not
used for deception.
