<P><FONT SIZE=2>One thing I wonder though... why do people prefer 'some_function_name()' over 'SomeFunctionName()'?&nbsp; I personally don't like the underscore character - it's an odd character to type when you're trying to get the name typed in, and the shifted character, I find, is easier to input.</FONT></P>
