I can't speak much, but in the 5th grade we had "gaggle.net" accounts through the school district. I was good with computers then but my nickname in my family was "Hacu" and I remember getting AIM when I was 11, so my screen name was Hacu11 and I used that. My teacher came up behind me and kept saying ... Why do you hack? I know what your email
really means... (Hac[k] [yo]u)... and so I figured what the hell, I might as well change it and reverted to the hotmail email my dad made me when I was 8. PavanDave@ the hot mail.
I have about 15 different emails from different organizations that all forward to my current email (except my Uni email) from my old school gamer emails from those regretful days of no lifeing online to the standard issue
VicePresident@frat.chapter email, and the awesome thing is that people think I'm responding from each of those emails individually.
People think many emails is a waste, and often times it is, but you'd be surprised at the response I get from my robotics email about sponsorship vs my personal gmail among other things. It just makes life easy when people don't have to guess if this person is from xxx organization because your email does the talking for you.
