Out of curiosity, does anyone know why Yang writes his email without proper capitalization? Does it make employees feel like he's down on their level? (Apparently, they aren't good with capitalization, either?) Curious minds...
What you have to understand is that EVERY email from Jerry is lowercase. I can see how some people think this is offensive, but honestly, they lack the context of every other email he's ever sent. I think Yahoos would be worried if he started using capitals.
Hmmm. Two Tims disagree.
Yes but only one of them gets email from Jerry :P
Fair enough. That's what I get for vaguely referencing Kids In The Hall :]
A little before my time (the group formed the year I was born) but I'll have to check it out!
I don't think that quite answers the original poster's question. You're saying that it's just the way Jerry Yang's always done it, but why did he start doing it in the first place?
The thing that gets me is how he still manages to put the exclamation point in yahoo!.
It's a childish affectation that he never bothered to jettison. Rather like the people who do little smilies instead of dotting their i's
A self-indulgent throwback to when it was 'cool' to write like that on the internet.
