>Inane? Dunno as the quality of the reason. It just is. Perhaps it's because Fox isn't case sensitive, which most people would probably agree is a good thing. But, really, it's just so. FWIW, that is one kinda silly reason I like programmatic classes. Completely non-functional reason, but it suits my esthetics, too.

Is inane a word? Maybe I meant insane :). Actually its more than esthetics at stake. Readability of code is a big factor. Take a method name example this.atPutAll(object) vs. this.atputall(object). And anyway, the built in methods and properties are in mixed case. So why should my additional ones be any different.

Hey there is a name for 8.0? The Genie. This way we can all get our wishes.
