E-Mail Screw-ups. Many Universities 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.
I.E. Mary L. Ferguson = mlfergus or fergusml. They are just now beginning
to realize the problems that may cause 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)
Some examples follow:
- Hellen Thomas Eatons (Duke University)=eatonsht@dku.edu
- Martha Elizibeth Cummins (Fresno University)=cumminme@fu.edu
- George David Blowmer (Drop Front Drawers & Cabinets Inc.)=blowmegd@dropdrawers.com
- Mary Ellen Dickinson (Indiana University of Pennsylvania)=dickinme@iup.edu
- Francis Kevin Kissinger (Las Verdes University)=kissinfk@lvu.edu
- Barbara Joan Beeranger (Myplace Home Decorating)=beeranbj@myplace.com
- Amanda Sue Pickering (Perdue University)=aspicker@pu.edu
- Ida Beatrice Ballinger (Ball State University)=ibballin@bsu.edu
- Bradley Thomas Kissering (Brady Electrical, Northern Division, Overton Canada)
=btkisser@bendover.com
- Isabelle Haydon Adcock (Toys "R" Us)=ihadcock@tru.com
Think first, people!
