#12“Unless they have been given permission to use that, we are asking them not to use it,” said Ken Fiori, director of computing services at the college. Fiori created the policy to make it easy for people to distinguish between official college e-mails and ones from people who were simply using its acronym. While he has not received any complaints about people trying to use the acronym maliciously to trick people, the possibility existed for that to happen, Fiori said.
Looks like someone has too much time on his hands.

I'm for it. Why don't you write a blog post about the idea and share widely.
