BillyVance 35 #1 July 6, 2005 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: TOP TEN Actual E-mail Addresses ===================================== 10. Helen Thomas Eatons (Duke University) - Eatonsht@dku.edu 9.
