What annoys me is that two names that are identical in spelling and differ
in case can be two different people - that's ridiculous!
When I write a letter to someone - does case matter - not that snail-mail
is exactly correct - but people are having enough problems with mnemonics
in computers - now we are forcing people to note "uh, was that a capital
D or little D in the user name?"
 
Sometimes - you have to wonder who makes these decisions - real people are
going to have to use this stuff some time.
 
Nobody asked - just my opinion.
