What's in an address?
Many Universities, government offices and businesses tend to strip
the last name down to 6 characters and add the first and last
initial to either the beginning or end to make up an e-mail
address, ie Mary L. Ferguson - mlfergus or fergusml.
They are just now beginning to realize the problems this practice
may cause when you have a large and diverse pool of people to support
with e-mail. Add to that a large database of company/college
acronyms and you have some veryfunny addresses (although they
are undoubtedly not funny to the individual involved).
Some examples of actual e-mail addresses seen on the Net:
