Second chuckle... These are pretty good, or awful, depending on whether you name turns out like this. A friend of mine was jstadick@pmmc.com. He ended up quitting not long after he was assigned the new e-mail address. be sure to check out the whole address...name+location. Some of these are pretty hard to believe. 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.
