As wimsty mentioned, everyone is lower case. It's a carryover convention from back before the User Lookup feature was disabled. When posting the list here, there was simply no way to include links to profiles in an update as the character limit was already an issue without tacking in the link codes as well. By keeping things in lower case it enabled myself and others to easily differentiate between I,1, and l; 0 and O, etc., when we wanted to do a lookup.
It's been that way since the list started and there's O (or 0) chance I'm going back through l,O0O names and changing them all to reflect the fact that some people decided to capitalize particular letters in their user name, myself included. The Rank-up listing is the only place where I'll bother with it, so you'll see it there as you've chosen to do it in your profile when you cross 2k total. Rank-ups are also the only time I'm really bothering with people's name changes on the update lists ... TheJoe's recent change being a special exception ;-)
