    I agree.  I've done my share of RTFM'ing and telling people to RTFM.  I'm
    just saying that there is absolutely no reason to be anal (uptight) about
    how people spell, capitalize and punctuate HylaFAX or hylafax or HYLAFAX or
    _hYlA-fAx_.

I'm not and I was not uptight - as you can see in the last sentence of
Q1 of the just released new HylaFAQ :-)
