well...the secret is out of the bag, eh? :-)

part of the reason i switched to lowercase (long time ago) was to get used to
it, to get ready for life in unix-land.  with good ol' mpe's (mostly)
case-insensitivity, coupled with posix's utter paranoia (hehe) about case, it
made (for me, anyhow) switching to lowercase a simple decision.

beyond that, TYPING IN ALL CAPS is just rude, right?  and for the
typing-challenged....it makes things just that much easier :-)           - d

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.
