+In my opinion, this isn't a good reason.
+
+Note that most tools are case insensitive, so for example, you can already log 
+in with your username in any case you like:
+
+[bgmilne at tiger ~]$ id -un
+bgmilne
+[bgmilne at tiger ~]$ echo $USER
+bgmilne
+[bgmilne at tiger ~]$ ssh BGMILNE at localhost id -un
+bgmilne
+
+In most cases, what is displayed to the user in any situation where a friendly 
+name is expected, the GECOS field, which is case sensitive and supports 
+uppercase, is used.
+
+I really just don't see the point ...
+
+Regards,
+Buchan
