"Newsbreak: UC Berkeley
Several graduate students have been found to be the same person.
After undue exposure to useage of a computer system, it was discovered 
today that an unknown number of UCB math graduate students were actually
sharing one group mind and personality.  Calling themselves the 'Brahms
Gang', the group had been terrorizing an international computer net with
cutting and often violent commentary.  An earlier outbreak of localized
Brahms gang Syndrome, as UCSF med center psychologists are calling the disease,
was identified in one Matthew Wiener, who had joined the group mind as 
an entity called Weemba.  Further investigation has shown that there were
at least four, possibly as many of twenty victims.  As of this time nobody has 
found a cure, or gained any insight into the nature of the syndrome."

Is perhaps Mr. Smith a victim????
