Email Addresses

Many colleges and business's 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.

For example, Mary L. Ferguson = mlfergus or fergusml. They are just now beginning to
realize the problems that may happen when you have a large and diverse pool of people to
choose from. Add to that a large database of company/college Acronyms and you have some very funny addresses.

Probably not funny to the individual involved, however:
