jessica,
i for one would much rather read your lower case posts than many of the
vitriolic and correctly-capitalized posts that make their way onto my screen.
although, e.e. cummings i believe was trying to make a point with his lowered
cases, while you and i are probably just trying to save time.  and if you
think your sentence structure is hard to read, look once more at the post
throwing accusations your way.  to quote bob mould, "it makes no sens at all."

anyway, please don't let the actions of a few miscreants deprive the rest of
the list of your contributions.--matt
