This one's puzzled me and I'm sure there's a simple answer:

For address and transactions etc. I find a lot of people using all lower case (which is a pain for me as I do not have front end/back end integration. E.G.:

joe smith
123 main street
anytown, us 12345

Is there a reason for this? Is it a fraud security issue?

I'm a little confused. Which might be considered by some to be my normal state. I believe that when I type my name in lc it means I don't really give a s**t what someone thinks about my self esteem. I don't really worry too much about what other people think and I also don't look into mirrors to see how good I look. I wasn't aware that lc messed up anyone's computer system for addresses. I think my pay pal addy is in lc and I'm not real sure how to edit it and most people are happy to take my money any way they can get it.

I didn't know this could be considered a garage topic but that just shows what I know.

I really can use the shift key but sometimes I don't. My left hand has had nerve damage for 4 yrs. and my wife still asks me why I type with one hand. What does that tell you about our relationship?
She on the other hand doesn't mind asking me to fix all the stuff that needs repairing in her world.
