Lisa,

I think it was in very poor taste to "go public" with this. You sent him a
personal e-mail and he sent you a personal response back. The etiquette of
this list has nothing to do with th correspondence you initiated with Don.
His point, though blunt, is well-made. He isn't quite yet comfortable
typing to bother with both upper and lower case. As he gets more
comfortable, he might progress to your style. I agree with him - get a
life. We certainly have better things to do that sort through what I am
sure will be many reponses to you pettiness.
