What am I missing here? My code sorts on a case-insensitive basis, since email addresses AFAIK are case-insensitive. It is merely a matter of seeing certain addresses catch my eye again and again on my reports. There seems to be a trend to, in both ports and documentation, to canonicalize the style of our email addresses as FreeBSD.org. I had even thought such a thing might be controversial; I thought it was "just the way we did things." I will avoid all such commits in the future -- unless someone decides to define a policy. Feel free to back this change out if you wish. mcl
