Ha ha, very witty. You might be correct however; we had a tech bubble
company here called eCorp but it is now just a memory. The unusual
capitalisation of eCorp was respected and sentences such as "eCorp is
pleased to ..." did look silly to me but I accept that it is correct.

I believe that names can have unusual spelling and capitalisation and
these oddities should be maintained. It is the polite thing to do.

www.example.com and other domain names also stay lower-case here (in
Aus) even when starting a sentence.

So I think that dorayme's request that the name stay lower-case is fair
and reasonable.

My 2 cents,
