I agree about capitalizing it, but Benjamin preferred it being
lowercase.  I don't care either way, but just tell me all of the things
you want fixed/changed in one batch so I don't have to change everything
all the time :)

I'm fine either way, just tell me what to do.

Ok - so you're saying, capitalize it and leave as is ? If nobody
objects, then that's what I'll do.

Thanks
