[comp.org.usenix] email address on registration form, 25 chars?

sanders@cactus.org (Tony Sanders) (04/26/91)

On the registration form is says your electronic mail address is limited to
25 characters but I see listings in the attendee list that are longer.

Is the form out of date with the program?  Not that I care, mine is only 18.

just curious,

Due to the three column format of the attendee lists, the database in
the conference office is set up to accept only 25 characters for the 
email addresses.  For the address to be longer, something special has
to be done by the person who formats the list.  This has obviously been
done on-site at the conferences on occasion, but is not as a rule an
option.
