  • Subject: E-Mail Addresses...

Hi Folks,

Just wondering what those of you setting up e-mail addresses are using
for your naming strategy. Sometime back I was reading in some of the
trade rags a caution about females using first name because the e-mail
address farming perverts would know for sure that this was a female and
know to target them. That doesn't seem to be that big of a concern now,
judging from what co-horts and other companies I know of are doing (i.e.
jane.doe@thiscompany.com, john.doe@thiscompany.com, etc.) or the lawyers
got into the game and said a complete name had to be used...

One thought here was to use user profile format (last name/first
initial) but I'd hate to limit it to 10 because of all the current
problems with that length and folks with longer names...

Thanks !

Chuck
