EDIT: he explains (in an interview which I can't find ATM) that people (someone he respected/knew, IIRC) add 'p' to the front of their [email protected] to help filter out spam.

I believe he tells the story in this podcast. A professor put the P in front of his email address to avoid unwanted emails. Possibly the P stood for private.

This P became an inside joke among friends or coworkers, and this is a continuation of that joke.

I just finished the pod, it is the LAST story they tell (at 1:10 mark). http://fourhourworkweek.com/2016/05/29/marc-andreessen/

Marc had an old boss "that was so important" he used 2 emails. One for the whole company, another for private emails... haha.
