LOL.  Normally, a trademark would be capitalized, and lowercase would
indicate a general (possibly illegal) usage.  E.g., "Google" is a
trademark, but the verb "google" is common usage.  Still, I realize that in
the *nix world, where lowercase is the norm, the trademarks could be
lowercase, too.

I know, but I'm not actually on a "listserv" or "mailman" - I use gmane
news.
