i got my email address when I set up email for the first time in about 1990. it is gender neutral (privacy related concerns with that), is the name of a sport that I partipate in, is professional enough that I have used it in my career. It doesnt have any difficult to remember letter/number combinations. It is on a free service. It is the only email address I have ever used - no plans to change it.

i think it pays to be careful when choosing an email address!

"When they were kids..." You are making me feel old.

There was no such thing as email or the Internet when I was a kid.

Ahh the millennial generation...

If I remember right my first email address was NoSpam@screwyou.com

I remember when mail (not email) had two or three deliveries a day - in a rural Vt town.

When I was in high school, the xXSoMeThInGdEpReSsInGXx AOL screen names were the new rage. So cringeworthy!

When I was a kid, Mr. T was in his prime, the Duke boys were jumping cliffs, and Indiana Jones was brand new. There was no public internet back then.

Now, when I started in my first year of college, we had limited internet access. Mostly, in the LRC. I didn't even get my first email address until about 1994 or 95. The username had more to do with one of my favorite music bands at the time. I kept that email address until about 2000, 2001ish...switched to an email address that had my name in it. I can't remember if I abandoned that email address altogether or what happened, but I can no longer access it. I will admit that I wouldn't mind being able to access it for nostalgic reasons, although I'm sure I won't have emails from the mid 90's in it.
