Hi folks. Just "tuppencely" and hopefully not off topic I note that Wikipedia seems to prefer capitalizing "the Internet" and the noun alone in terms like !"Internet protocols". Somehow I have a feeling the lower case forms will win out in the end, though, as seems often to happen with things like brand names. Very interesting discussion!
   
  Best wishes,
