I totally agree. In this strange era we're all in, it seems that not using proper capitalization is a sign of "importance". Other high ranking people/CEOs/technologists don't use the correct rules, especially f

Love this, reminds me of a Windows program (whose name I’ve forgotten) that I was playing with some decades ago… Solarwinds or something similar. You could add planets/masses and play with orbits, trajectories and all sort of options.
