Ross!  Thanks for the clarification.  Also, regarding the caps dialog, it
doesn't matter to me how someone writes as long that it is understandable.

i couldn't help but sense the smug superiority from the capless writer about

For some of us, being polite is of the utmost importance in being able to
diplomatically bring an argument to bear.  I think I shall be capful instead
of capless.
