Could you please relax your pwd rules just a TAD?

The rule you folks have, of ReQuIRinG mixedcase, is just a bit over the top, don't you think? 
Consider that maybe some (many) of us might already have a pwd that we use, at the 25 or 50
or so places that existed, before you came along with your goofy rule.
e.g. so now, I'm gonna have to remember that, only at 'makemkv', my old password
pattern of 8-chars long, and does contain both digits and letters, but it happens that
all the letters are lowercase, just isn't gonna work here. (sigh).
If it were only me, I'd "fuhgetaboutit'.
But, my gut says that your rule is effecting LOTS of people, who like me, aren't gonna be too
happy that your folks decided to pioneer a new standard in password rules.
Am I asking too much????

and yes you are asking too much. Personally, I'm amazed this is the first site you've come across that requires mixed case passwords. It's really quite common. You only need to capitalize one letter, you know. Just remember that some of the times your password has that one letter capitalized.
