no significance whatsoever. i just got used to writing w/o capitals during the 
decades from high school until now and find it doesn't cause problems. i'm 
still able to capitalize (more or less) correctly if i have to, like in 
official communication and such. not trying to be a rebel, but doing what comes 
easiest to me. if this should cause great consternation for some, i could 
switch on the capitals for this list; not writing that much anyway.
