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:
