[Opensim-dev] Duplicate entries for Hypergrid users in GridUser table

[Jim Williams]

I will tell you that from the point of view of someone trying to create
complex content (scripts) it would be really great to be able to actually
log in more than once.  I sometimes fake it now by logging into different
grids and hyperjumping about.  (Doesn't help with the sorting out privs
nightmare though....)

I can't say that I buy into the argument that you can't do that in RL... so
why not?  Griefers would have to have extremely impressive hardware to make
use of the ability in any "interesting" way.
