it could be an affectation... or it could be that i think i'm ee
cummings reincarnated... i could have lost my shift buttons and caps
locks... or i could be doing it IN OPPOSITION TO THE PEOPLE WHO SHOUT
in their email... could be a neural problem... might be a habit...
demonic possession is a long shot... wouldn't be doing it to annoy; my
personality already does that more than enough for me... could it just
be what feels best to me?
i will probably stop capitalizing in the manner that appeals to my
sensibilities just after the rampant misspellings on the net stop for
good... kind of like johnny cash wearing black until the world changes,
but without the music (or the cash). when the net has perfect spelling
and grammar and word choice, there would be no reason not to fall in line.

ps: that's not it either.
pps: is this really on topic?
ppps: why don't we start spelling like Ls, Cp, TelNet, and StartX too?
that would be fun.
