Many Universities, government offices and businesses tend to strip the last name down to 6 characters and add the first ands last inital
 to  either the beginning or end to make up an email address, ie
the Mary L.  Ferguson = mlfergus or fergusml.
 
 

 They are just now beginning to realize the problems this practice may cause when you have a large and diverse pool of people to
support with e-mail. Add to that a large database of company/college
acronyms and you  have some very funny addresses (although they  are undoubtedly not funny to the individual involved)
