I don't think Scotty even really cares if people capitalize, etc. I think
he's just messing with you guys. e-mailing is so anonymous, it's easy to
screw with people when you're bored. I always go into nerd chatrooms and
pretend like I'm pissed off because Captain Picard didn't greet some Klingon
correctly.

In response to:
First off, there is nothing outdated about ee cummings. Second off,
establishing rules for posting to this list such as obeying
capitalization and correcting spelling errors are absurd. We are, I
think, for the most parts all adults here, with an obvious love and
respect for language and literature. But I, for one, will not adhere
to these attempts to regulate the way I express myself in this forum.
These are not business correspondances here, we are not being graded or
evaluated, this is as informal as any round table discussion of
literature, taking place, for the most part, among "friends" (people
with a common interest anyway) where the use of slang would be
perfectly acceptable.
Anyone agree with me here? (about ee, or supposed grammar rules on this
post)
