The names were showing as @@@LONG_NAME@@@ when I first entered the
document and thought it unusual that they didn't substitute.  I don't
know who originally created the docs in question but I continued with the
conviction, thinking that they might change later.  When they didn't
substitute, I figured something was wrong.  So it should be 
@@@FULL_NAME@@@ instead.  That would make sense as to why they weren't
substituting.  I'll change the hard code to that instead and use
@@@FULL_NAME@@@ in the future edits.

Thanks
