I am with Devon on this one. Only because I cannot for the life of me work out how to prounce D@mm user name. 

Is it ‘DatMM’ because that is difficult to say. Is it a funny jape using the @ instead of A? 

Can someone ‘report’ back with their findings.

It's an example of now extinct letter accenting. In ancient times, @ was pronounced as 'uh'.

The Metro have done a cool article on Martin Goldsmith, the guy who got the WWF to tour over here. It gets into the WWF QVC shows too, I'll never forget some daft presenter talking about "Heartbreak Hulk Hogan".
