Yes the name is important.  But since you know it will always be case
sensitive, no big deal....just put it in that way.

    What looks good to you looks ugly to me.  And vice versa.  In art, in
layout, in text composition, in music, etc, etc.  I'll agree that TEXT in
ALL CAPS is hard to read.  But for the name of the list, 8 characters is
hardly a crisis.  Besides, as has already been pointed out it has been
optimized for the server, and I'd much rather save load on the CPU than
please one or to prima donas who don't like the way it looks.  If they
can't stand it (and I've never heard of such a complaint in running a dozen
lists of pretty large size and high traffic for seven years), they can do
just what they can if they don't like how I manage the list.  They go START
THEIR OWN DAMN LIST.
