for me, it's a matter of how much i care.  some people do it as a style
thing (and in fact it is somewhat quicker if you don't have to reach
for the shift key).  yeah, sometimes i'm lazy.  i don't personally find
it too much harder to read when other people do it -- certainly not
as bad as people who fail to paragraph properly or fail to wrap before
80 characters.

at the end of the day, it's just a mailng list.  typos, bad grammar, etc
can't really be legislated away.
