[COSEAfaculty] New URL and vote on new email

[Jim Heitholt]

I vote "B."

I'm surprised NC State still uses the underscore so at least we won't be
the last to eliminate that (I'm assuming the underscore will lose here
and at NC State eventually).

Also, did it really take 22 hours for the email launched by Grady on
Tuesday morning to reach us (it shows as Wednesday morning in my box)?
Just curious.

Jim

Subject: [COSEAfaculty] New URL and vote on new email

Greetings:

There are two major developments on the TAMU-Commerce website; one of
which requires your input:

1) Effective immediately, the main URL for the university is
www.tamuc.edu. The old www.tamu-commerce.edu URL is still working for
now, but it will become non- functional in exactly 10 months. Please
make arrangements to phase out any references to the old URL.

2) E-mail addresses will also be changed, but not until we settle on a
new  naming protocol. The president has asked that we all vote on one of
the following options:

A) first_last at tamuc.edu
B) first.lat at tamuc.edu
C) firstlast at tamuc.edu
D) lastfirst at tamuc.edu

As you are well-aware, option "A" causes numerous problems because the
underscore between first and last names gets hidden in underlined
hyperlinks. If you would like to make comments (on this or any other
topic) to the faculty list, just click "reply all" to this message or
send a note to coseafaculty at tamu-commerce.edu. 

Either way, please send your vote to Lisa Rabe by the end of this week.

Many thanks, Grady
