i don't know what you are talking about.  i'm not here to try to change 
anything.  i really don't care how you type.  you act as if i want everyone 
else to stop using capital letters.  i just feel that if i am going to take 
the time to type a response i should be given the credit due to anyone else 
who responds, no matter if i use capital letters or not.  all i wanted to do 
was contribute to the list, nothing more.

oh, i'm the one who could be called a brat?  hmmm, just doesn't seem right to 
me.  see, i was just wanting to start a conversation about "a perfect day for 
bananafish" and i was told that my post wasn't really worthy of reading 
because i used all lowercase letters.
