Note the use of the personal pronoun "I", and the weasel-word "probably". On this matter I *will* defer to those actively playing, as I can't judge whether multi-use of such a secret is abusive or not from where I'm sitting.

So, who does this (multiple use of an "FA-By-Secret"), what Narrators allow (or disallow) it? Does anyone even use this secret type? Wesley's group seems to deal with them by CdG'ng users, does any one else have relavent experience?
