who gives a ***** if someone doesn't capitalize properly?  it's an Internet forum, not a newspaper or academic paper...

Harry, if you're referring to my "complaint" about BRTD not capitalizing the "o" in opebo when begininning a sentence, it was pointed out because he capitalizes the first letter of a word every other time he starts a sentence.

You've only been back for a day and already irritating.

grammar smack is always Bush-league, Phil.

(Unless BRTD has been criticizing others' capitalization habits while I've been gone; in which case, I would retract my comments.)

Neither Xahar nor Phil is necessarily wrong, as it depends on which type of style you're using.

In AP style, you always capitalize the first letter of a sentence, no matter what:  "IPods are cool."

Since this forum doesn't have a rule about style (unless the mods have introduced one in my absence...I wouldn't put anything past them), it would depend on which style BRTD is using.  Unless he's claimed to be writing his posts in AP in the past, he could still claim to be correct.
