You are not out of line and you are not picking nits. You are
completely right and justified. The policy of the list is to use
correct casing, and it is for exactly the reason you mention.
Marnen, in particular, has been incorrigible on this issue. I have
tried begging, pleading, insulting-- nothing works. I've given up
on him. I seldom read his Klingon, though, because my eye just
can't parse the small i's.
