It's completely relevant, and I find it telling that BigDoug (a senior admin at KGS), when provided a chance to answer this policy question, ignored it. Finding all the accounts associated with an IP address is a special
privilege only afforded to the admins, just like only the admins can peek at your chat. And just like I would not expect an admin to reveal private chats, I would not expect an admin to reveal that somebody has multiple accounts. Yes, it's a minor complaint, but it's still a breach. Unless, of course, BigDoug, another senior admin, or WMS himself wants to say differently.
Why won't they answer the question? Is the admin behavior, as laid out by NoSkill, appropriate or not?

Actually that would probably be illegal in many countries. Medical privacy is a big deal, but your example illustrates your level of concern for privacy.
