i am really sincerely touched by your fund to purchase capital letters for me. actually, while i may sometimes channel ee cummings, the truth is that i save my limited supply of them up for times when i am really furious or excited about something. i try to use them with parcimony so as not to run out ; it would be terrible if i no longer had any way of indicating particularly strong emphasis. also when i am in a really bad mood i find a good round of swearing to be cathartic and this is most effective in capitals as well, but i do try to generally be polite and even-tempered. this is not always easy so i find that avoiding capitals can keep bad temper in check, or at least somewhat attenuate its expression.

I suppose then we could start a fund to buy me a dictionary so I can look up the word "parcimony." Or even better set up a fund to buy me a Cybook Gen 3 so I could convert this post into a book and use the dictionary look up function. Either way I would end up a much smarter person.
