Let me put it this way: regardless of what case you use in your request or the nameservers spit out for data (which is not affected, and I never said was), the resolvers asking for information and the nameservers responding will "squash" to a uniform case when performing the search. Why? Because so many of those old ARPAnet hosts were (and still are!) incapable of distinguishing case. I cut my teeth on some of those systems. So, there really is no reason to maintain mixed case. Beyond that, there are esthetic reasons to smash to lowercase: sTuDly-CapS aRe A fuCkinG paiN in thE aSs tO Read, eSpeCially wHen they aRe All sMushEd TogeTher inTo A singLe "worD". -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMqcmJ56VRH7BJMxHAQFWDwQAuI+bhupidv46PqnWa7DV39At98J+bJGQ QeGsMDnXAZPcC/wt/PVvVxSbU7kKJJRVr8pPHVyeZOZFDK3hL4FsUeoP6GaSGeYT zxp/ja9fyjxukbosvZjihVxkNl7ejSoKk8b5Hs1Mr0KVGZLc23+oNnleAZZSqVUD Eg3JHSuSdUA= =Pr4X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rich Pieri | If you're not receiving enough Prescient Technologies, Inc. | attention, try knocking over some A Stone & Webster Company | very expensive antique lamps.
