I know most of the story... someone can correct me if I'm wrong...

Remember those Visa(?) commercials with NFL running back Emmitt Smith a couple years ago, where all the people said "I am Emmitt Smith"? Well, after seeing all of those, "Big Mike" decided to make his user title "I am JVN", as a joke. Then, he persuaded a bunch of people in a FIRST chat on AIM to do the same. From there, it snowballed, and ended up with 30+ having some form of "I am JVN" as their user title.

So, there you go... the story of "I am JVN".
