My nieces dubbed me "Mondo" about ten years ago and most of my family and friends have called me that since then. "500" would have been chosen by me in the hotmail days, as it's a nice round number and I didn't want to be "mondo357" or similar. Wherever I am on the net I adopt some variant of the name and retain my persona; I haven't the energy (or desire) to cultivate any others.

I had a Netcom account years ago (first week they offered them to the public) and I used my first name -- philip.

But lots of people I knew went the AOL route, needed help and so finally convinced me to join. Okay, so for the screen name I tried philip. Taken, so how about philip1, no good. philip2? Gone ... I got all the way up to philip602 and bingo.

That seemed kind of fitting for today's anonymous "we're all robotic cogs in the machinery" times, so I've kept it ever since.
