I just saw "KPNQwest" in the headlines and it reminded me... Another reason
the capitalization "LUGNet" is icky is because it has a higher chance of
being mispronounced similar to "PSINet" and other similar names.
If you remember those PSINet commercials going around about a year ago,
PSINet is pronounced "pee-ess-EYE-net," not "SIGH-net" or "PSI-net."
I'd hate for someone to see "LUGNet" and read that as "ell-you-GEE-net."

p.s. This is making me start to rethink the capitalization of AucZILLA
(which, actually, has the u and c in small caps, not lowercase :)
