It comes partly from an eejit mate of mine who insists on spelling it 'Ean', and partly from the LiST.
When I started posting there, there was already an 'Ian' who posted fairly regularly so to keep from too much confusion I began using the alternate spelling. Seemed no point in changing back when I came here, as most people already knew me as that.
The email addy I use for here has the Ean spelling now too. But that's more to do with my ISP's overly-energetic spam filter weeding out all the messageboard mails than anything else: I've lost the will to argue with them, it took long enough to stop them bouncing the LiST posts... fuckers.
