email aliases

greenspun.com : LUSENET : digital ink : One Thread

So what made you choose your particular email alias? What does it stand for (if anything at all!) And, if you could have any email alias, what would it be? (P.S. "email" or "e-mail"?)

I didn't want to clutter up the question with my own answer, so I'll put it here.

I needed a new address, so I would stopped being spammed to death. I like the sounds of both "punkass" and "sexmagnet" (even though I'm decidedly *not* a punkass... as for being a sexmagnet, it's a matter of opinion!), so being spammed to death was a good enough excuse to add yet another email address to the roster.

I wanted "I_am_a" but of course, it was taken. I could have chosen "I_am_such_a" but that would be too much typing (perhaps "lazy" would have been a better alias for me?)

As for a dream address...I like the idea of having my first name @ my last name dot com. Not particularly sexy or unusual but it's the ultimate in vanity, at least in my world.

As for the last question, I prefer "e-mail" but I'm too lazy to bother with the hyphen most times!

My spam email account is 'crap@gbdesigns.com'. I use that one to sign up for crap and it actually works but I dont check it.

"Hi this is Citibank, can we have your email address? Um, CRAP..."
