More likely, you're the victim of a brain-dead mailer. I've been trying to
send you stuff for weeks and it keeps bouncing from your site. You missed
the discussion that led up to this, in which it was said that we don't need
to free up uppercase letters for "their normal functions" in Klingon, since
many languages, like Hebrew, do fine without them. Someone else argued
that he'd seen "uppercase" on a Hebrew typewriter, and I was responding to
that. You should probably yell very loudly at your local postmaster, since
I've had a lot of trouble reaching you...
