I have a collection of files from the late ´90s and early ´00s. Many of them are .JPG, .MP3, .WAV, instead of .jpg, .mp3, and .wav. Why was that the norm at the time? I usually just change the extension myself.

      Yeah it took on a life of its own, including his effort to crush it or explain it away. But I think he said it. Also that it was heavily context-dependent, and ultimately just a way to shit on the man who single-handedly robbed us all of an open-source utopia of informed citizenry by being a greedy bastard.
