I've always used "sock puppet" to mean someone with an account who doesn't use their LJ for posting, but does read other LJs/communities and responds if they want, and that LJ is their primary identity. Kind of like you (although you posted the other day!)
Per the other kind you describe, I have one of those second LJs, which I basically used to lurk silently on the conservative political communities during the election. I haven't done much of that since the election, so I'll probably delete it at some point.
