The quick answer is "no necessarily cogent thoughts". I am a digital dinosaur. Which is not to say that I am utterly and totally out of touch with the 'new digital world of experience'.
I am on unsure ground here, but I think these multiple instances of the apparent presence of an OLO identity are nothing to be overly concerned about. I suspect it has to do with the opening of other tabs in a user's browser, in which they then log in (perhaps, but not necessarily, unknowingly) again to OLO in order to read and/or to post.
For example, within recent days, whilst observing the passing parade of OLO identities on the 'Users currently online' page, I saw "daggett, daggett, daggett", on the display. Now anybody who is anybody on OLO knows that James Sinnamon, who is OLO userID 'daggett', never attempts to cover his electronic tracks. He has no need. His presence on OLO is, and always has been, an open book: daggett's no sockpuppet.
These multiple instances of net presence are but the unhideable evidences of superior cyberspatial competence of some users. That this situation exists is not necessarily bad. It takes me back to a more mechanical age, when the newest and latest was not necessarily the best. A classic example occurred in Korea at the crossing of the Imjin River, I think, in or around 1950. The only (allied) weapons that reliably worked after the crossing were then 50 year-old bolt-action (Lee-Enfield) rifles and (Australian) Owen machine carbines. All were 'digitally' operated, even if not as we all now understand the term.
Buyut shoot, Ludwig (yeyuss, Mad Ludwig of Herbaria) hayass he-imself commented upon the inverse of this phenomenon: the situation wherein an OLO user is acknowledgedly online, but the 'Users online' display reveals not that user's own-volitionally unhidden presence. Now thayat iyuss perplexing. If only some truly digitally literate user could explain thayat to us all, we-all would really learn something.
Ah truely trust, Q&A, thayat you really need theyyus answers.
