Long ago when the internet wasn't even the world wide web, we had an internet account. Back in the old days, your email address had to be your name or an abbreviation of it. Also, you got only one email account and not an account for several in your family. Our account was in my husband's name: Pat Hamilton. The name was too long so they abbreviated it. P(at) Ham(il)ton became Phamton. I've used that as a log in for years as no one ever has that name already when I register on internet discussion boards.
