One, and then another

Many colleges 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. 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.
