but did not find any cooperation from them on "all caps in book titles." You say "25 years" ago, but I learned my way 60 years ago. Didn't even see a teevee set till I was 12, when a bunch of people lined up on sidewalks to see the teevee playing in a store window..

Most in agreement with the caps are in publishing - interoffice stuff, etc., in internet correspondence, where it's almost standard.

The underscore at each end is cumbersome to me, but thanks for the suggestion.
