    Geez, that took me like 10 minutes to type out! How do those kids do that.

    And yes, RickJ is right (looks like he used a little creative capitolization in his name finally lol)... it means that it is most likely a proper noun.

    Sorry I didn't reply to the email you sent... I figured I would just come here to answer :D
