I was thinking about this last year (?) I think, when Mary did the
Lonnie Falk issue of CoCoNutz. Somewhere he emphasized the spelling of
'CoCo'... This is where I 'corrected' my usage of 'coco' or 'Coco' to
'CoCo'. Back to what I was wondering though, I was wondering if not the
Lonnie Falk himself had perpetrated this spelling through the forum that
he owned named 'Rainbow Magazine'?

Anyone care to comment about my thought's accuracy? Or at least tell me
that the spelling of the term 'CoCo' was made concrete before the
'Rainbow years'?
