Personally, I like the italics. Perhaps Robert is a lazy bastard who has had his ass kissed for so many years that in, in his own mind, he can do no wrong. I have never had much use for people who have a nickname they bestow upon themselves and who often refer to themselves in the third person. Now if he called himself, "The Dickwad," that would be totally different. ![](\"https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn-cf.aol.com%2Fse%2Fsmi%2F0201d20638%2F01&t=1572481684&sig=ZFryXCUFlm9ehfJDxSSxrw--~E\")

As for his writing style, he has always e-mailed me in that style. I have about 30 e-mails from him here and in the 10 or so that comprise more than 2 sentences, none are capitalised at all.
