Those are rules for advertisements by lawyers in the state of Virginia (a state where Prof. Moglen does not practice), and aren't relevant to the current discussion. Also, did you read what Eben said? He said "nobody knows why"; even if you could find a statute with the requirement that actually applies, that wouldn't explain *why* anyone thinks that uppercase is clearer. As for your claims that Eben Moglen is a repeated violator of the legal rules of Virginia (you practically call him a habitual liar), presumably you have some evidence, or are you just engaging in casual libel? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
