What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

August 2017: I've been diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer.
If you would like to donate to help with my medical expenses: Bill's Medical Bills & Cancer Fund.

My nickname in high school was "mister bill". When it came time to pick my first username for an ISP in 1995, I pulled "mrbill" out of a hat, and its been that way ever since.
