liberating - that s the word! i don t know about you, but i use what
we call in germany the "two-finger-search-system", so caps are a
nuisance indeed. also, most of you guys are lucky because in german
EVERY BLOODY NOUN has to start with a capital letter, which can turn
out to be a royal pain in the ass.
