How did you come about your username?

Yes, more boredom-inspired spammity spam, but what IS a guy to do when he's bored? Go for a drive in his Volvo 340 when he's trying to save petrol? :D

I am called Tom because I am called Tom.

mine came from the need for a reasonable numberplate for nfs3, and it then became my userid for pretty much everything net-based. stands for
'5ubtle',
'Like'
'A'
'B'rick

I'd often wondered about 5lab!

Foggyjames....started years and years ago - www.foggysoft.com - the name was my idea, so I was foggyjames...I've had the AIM user ID registered since about 99.

cheers

my initials are DK = DeKay, and it too came from NFS3, where my numberplate was D3K4Y. It's also my username or part of my password for prettymuch everything

It's pronounced like the letters, and not like "decay", the E makes a lot of difference, not that yuo'd know if you say it fast enough.

Well my IRC-handle is Fuse_Head which pretty much means nothing. So Fuse is the sortened form. :P No deeper meaning in it. ;)
