My Bonney Lies Over the Ocean

[William Blank <wmblank -at- JUNO -dot- COM>]

Yiddish has a great word: Narrishkeit. It means something like
"foolishness combined with  wannabe attitude." Our friend Bonney provides
us a wonderful example.

I responded to his original request for comments to his narrishkeit and
questioned his distain for capital letters.

And so for your listening and dancing pleasure, here is his response:

>>i have nothing against capital letters, it's just that the internet's
>>history is rooted in the unix operating system and so, quite often,
>>character strings are case-sensitive; in order to simplify typing,
>>especially with a new keyboard, we communciate via e-mail and internet
>>using lower-case letters as much as possible; only if there is some
>>real  need to use capitalization do use them.

Hhhhmmmmm.
