BUT THE ALL-UPPERCASE USED IN THESE MESSAGES IS A REMNANT
FROM THE DAWN OF THE COMPUTING AND THE USE OF TELETYPES!
WHAT SORT OF CLASSIC COMPUTER HOBBYIST ARE YOU, ANYWAY!?

HEY JEFF, CAN YOU ADD A RULE TO YOUR DEMIME FILTER TO
MAKE IT SO THAT ALL OF THE MESSAGES ARE TRANSLATED INTO
UPPERCASE? WE'RE WASTING PRECIOUS BANDWIDTH WITH ALL OF
THIS BULKY 7 BIT ASCII CRAP.
