Failure to write properly has always in my eight years here drawn opprobrium. a name came to me, and i did a search, and there is in fact at least one other doper out there who writes like i do. so yes, actually, i have. i know you guys love your cites, but i don’t feel comfortable naming names. this thread has nothing to do with that person and i don’t want to drag them into anything. ---

So PM or email to me the name of the poster who writes grammatically correctly yet does not capitalize, and has not been criticized for doing so. I promise that I will keep that name to myself, and will (on the board) merely answer (to the same post as now) yes or no. ---
