Hi, I'm sorry if I came off as abusive. I made the edits in good faith, as I make all edits, and I wanted to approach you directly as we've had productive discussions and collaboration on past edits. Yes, they are both my account; I was not aware that having more than one account is frowned upon, nor was/am I trying to hide it. I'm happy to declare both accounts if you request it. Is there a better way that we can have a productive conversation in the future? Best regards, Bbreslau (talk) 09:23, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * What is your legitimate purpose for using multiple accounts? - UtherSRG (talk) 11:44, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Originally it would fall under "Compromised account":
 * "If you are unable to access your account because you have lost the password..." I had initially lost the password for the older account, so I made a new one. Then I rediscovered the old password and now have access to both. @Bbreslau is now my primary account, but sometimes I use the other account when it's already logged in. Again, no malice intended, just personal convenience in the moment Bbreslau (talk) 11:54, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * My apologies.... I've dealt with too many actual socks in recent days and jumped a river of conclusions. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:16, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

 * , this is clearly the same person but why do you think that it's abusive or that CU is warranted? Why not just ask them to declare their other account on their userpage? Spicy (talk) 23:11, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * How is it not abusive? - UtherSRG (talk) 00:44, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I withdraw my CU request. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:15, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Closing per the discussion above. Spicy (talk) 14:28, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
