st: RE: STATA verses Stata
As a general rule,all caps suggests an achronym, so that STATA might
stand for something like "Straight thorough analysis thrills all". It
appears that most corporate names, even if made up, are not in all caps
- e.g. "Microsoft".

Subject: st: STATA verses Stata
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.
