I wasn't aware that to post on this list I was required to be any of those.
I thought I just had to like Salinger and want to discuss his works.

So let me get this straight, capitals are required, but it is perfectly

adults or aren't we? If you deem it important to use standards of writing
associated with grown-ups, maybe you should also consider standards of
behavior.
