   Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to Anton Shepelev:   
      
   AS>  Congratulations upon capitalisation of your name :-)   
      
   ak>  It was the initiative of Tommi's gate, not mine.    
      
      
              Ah.  I'd noticed it seemed to happen at some times but not   
   others... maybe depending on where you were posting from.  While I've grown   
   accustomed to seeing your name without capitalization, either or both serve   
   the purpose.  :-)   
      
      
      
   ak>  Long ago when fidonet was a quiet populous place    
   ak>  there were many people with initials AK, and it    
   ak>  was confusing to have discussions with them. So   
   ak>  I modestly had made my initials small. ;)   
      
      
              Thank you.  That made it a lot easier to keep track of who said what   
   ... especially when multiple quotes were used.   
      
              In those days we also had two or three people here with the   
   initials "AS", one of whom helped clarify such things by adding his middle   
   initial.  And even now there are at least three Fidonet Syops with the   
   initials "ML"....  :-Q
