Nice to hear from you, Amy.  Congratulations on your accomplishments as 
a gardener.  I have a question to ask you.  As a VERY SENIOR citizen, it 
looks strange to me when some of the indoor gardeners don't use upper 
case letters except at the beginning of a sentence.  Is this an e-mail 
convention, something being taught in the schools now as "new math" once 
was, or has it just caught on  because it is an easier way to write?
This is not asked in a critical sense, truly. Please forgive my 
curiosity, but if we don't ask, how can we learn?
