lower case

[Gwen Galton]

Thanks Laura - I appreciate your personal response explaining that you have 
used all lower case as your personal style even before e-mail, and that you 
use upper/lower convention for formal matter. And I must apologize if in 
any way you might have taken it as a criticism of your usage (although 
you show no indication of having misconstrued my message)!  This was 
definitely not the "case".  As systems and language develops, so indeed 
may style.  I wanted to know if I was behind the times in demanding
upper/lower case e-mail from students.  ee cummings used all lower case 
as his personal style too - so you are in good company.  I shall 
continue, however, to expect formal style in e-mail from students.  How 
they write to one another is of course up to them.

I am posting this to the list, rather than personally, as I believe I 
have irked at least one person and I don't want the anti-lower case 
mob attacking you because of my lack of diplomacy :-)

Gwen.
