This is just a curiosity of mine and I may be inviting the wrath of Dr
Cox (I always seemed to get "ripped a new one" when I post even though
he tries to be as polite as possible), but according to the FAQS,
"Stata" should not be spelled with all caps.  My question is why it
matters if it is spelled STATA or Stata.

Again, this is just a curiosity of mine.

Absolutely no attachments, please. 

The "no attachments" rule is explained in the FAQ
(and the spelling "Stata"). 

When you joined the list, you were explicitly asked 
to read the FAQ _before_ posting. Each posting 
distributed to the list carries a reminder of the 
location of the FAQ. Once more, please read the FAQ! 
It is really is in your best interests if you wish 
to get and keep the good will of regular members of 
the list.
