ISACA, a registered trademark

Do you sometimes use youremail-SOMETHING when giving out your e-mail
address?  Like grutz-funsec () jingojango net ?  If so, don't try that
with ISACA, they think you're going to use their trademarked letters
for your own gain... Sorta like when you paid all that money and
regular dues for the privilege of saying you're certified.

... A brief conversation between ISACA and a friend of mine:

Him: Hi, I haven't received anything about my CISM. You said I passed
but I don't have a certificate or anything yet.

ISACA: That's not right, let me look up your information. What's your
(blah blah blah)

ISACA: Oh. I see, you're using ISACA in your e-mail address. That's
trademarked and you can't do that.

Him: Really? That's really a strange policy. Make it
hisname-ISACA () hisdomain com then.

ISACA: I'm sorry, that's still in violation of the trademark.

Him: I don't beli... Fine, just remove the e-mail address entirely.

ISACA: But then we have no e-mail address and can't complete your certification.

.... Huh?
