I am beginning to understand why Internet users are upset with Listserv.
I signed up to a list in Listserv with the following address:
 
[log in to unmask]
 
Note the uppercase.  When I tried to post to the list with the address:
 
[log in to unmask]
 
Listserv flagged it as an error, saying that I am not authorized to
access the list.  In all cases of dotted domain addresses, case should
be ignored.  It shouldn't make a difference if I come in one time as
HANK or Hank or hANK.  If my address is dotted-domain, you must ignore
case.

I can imagine the frustration level of Internet users.
