    Val... jUsT aS lOnG aS yOuR cReAtIvE cApItOlIzAtIoN doesn't gO oVeRbOaRd!!

    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
