[net.misc] Another computer-generated ad address

Where was that discussion a while back on computer-generated form
letters and their resulting weird address formats? Anyway, I just
received one myself:

Mailing from PC Magazine, addressed to "Mr. W Martin C Spc" (my job
title [at least the short format] is Computer Specialist, so I usually
use "Comp Spec" and it gets mangled in various ways).

The accompanying letter is addressed, of course, to "Dear Mr. Spc:".

Maybe that's a phonetic rendition of "Spock"? I should check my ears... :-)
