Simple question: Are the names you use to log in case sensitive?

I can log in as Chowderhead or chowderhead, and was wondering if that was a glitch, or a very nifty feature?

Username login fields on most websites and forums generally aren't case-sensitive; in this case (pun not intended, I swear ) I think it's just that the username field isn't sensitive.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

Usernames certainly aren't case sensitive, otherwise you could end up with 2 users with more or less the same name, which would cause no end of confusion, especially on a site like Dakka that has quite high traffic; there would be a significant chance of two people independently coming up with the same user name e.g. bloodangel / Bloodangel.

Making usernames unique prevents this from ever being a possibility.
