I already know the story behind Paranoid123, but he should share with the others. Come on Paranoid123, let us have it.

Me? Really, it's not at all that interesting. It was all because I was trying to register on eBay so I can bid on something. I was getting frustrated with all the personal questions that it was asking for (Credit Card number, addresses, pet's names, etc), but I still really wanted to bid, so I wanted "paranoid" or "paranoia" as a passive agreessive attempt to protest. But of course, both those names were probably taken years ago. So I used the old AOL throwback method of appending it with some numbers, and hence my stupid name.

Anyway, I decided to use it for most of the boards that I frequent, just so I don't have to remember all the usernames. It's bad enough that I have like 30 passwords to remember at work.

See? Not that interesting at all!
