There will certainly be a correlation between your original message
about the "100% prefer camelCase" and the sudden influx of messages
from wide_names folks, too though.  Remember Heisenberg, and also
remember first year statistics, and remember Ada, for that matter,
and don't make your decision based on a simplistic vote like this
in the newsgroup.
