ok, just a quick straw poll. how many people out there _really object_ when somebody sends them something in all lower-case, too lazy to even capitalize after punctuation? this used to sort of bother me until finally the light dawned yesterday and i understood - it's a lot *faster* to type when you ignore case! gee! revelation! :-) now it's no coincidence that all my very busiest friends all started doing this around the same time! :-) on the other hand, as you can plainly see, it looks kinda stupid. it is certainly much faster to type, and you run into less run-on mistakes where you get two letters cap'd and then you have to go back and muck it all up for awhile until finally you can go on to the next word. bah. so what's the concensus? go for fast but ugly or slower but more elegant? :-) jordan
