Re: [Air-L] copyediting question: capitalize www?

It looks like in many cases the definite article "the," as in "the" internet, plays the same role as the capital "I" when people need to distinguish between the global network and smaller networks. In that case the capital I in Internet would seemingly be redundant enough that I suspect it will eventually fall away. Besides...I thought the internet crowd didn't like capitalizing things... tim laquintano
