as have I, except I do capitalize the word "I", because I find that the lowercase "i" as first person pronoun is too twee. now that jerry yang has become the most prominent all-lower-case user, I fear that not wanting to be associated with the stink of failure will drive me out of the practice.
capitalization is a linguistic construct, and in english, it doesn't has as much of a purpose as it does in some other languages. its skippable.
