I'm reasonably certain that they're actually the same person, and he's
now engaging in sockpuppetry [1] by starting conversations with
himself. He's not trying very hard to hide it, signing posts with both
accounts as "zipher" and then lamp-shading that fact by commenting on
it. I can't even find any record that "Dr. Bigcock" ever actually
posted the text that "Dr. John Q. Hacker" is now responding to.
