RPI gave out usernames using the first five letters of the last name and the first initial. The result was, I, a lowly undergrad, got hughes@rpi.edu and a professor named Greg Hughes, who was around long before me, had hugheg@rpi.edu. That was funny. All I got out of it were a few emails from students in his classes.
