REPLY Please Capitalize System Dynamics (SD6330)

[SDMAIL John Sterman]

I agree with James Melhuish -- System Dynamics is a field of inquiry,  

system dynamics describes the dynamics of a particular system.   
Further, the field is System Dynamics, not Systems Dynamics, System's  
Dynamics, or Systems' Dynamics.

I also want to urge our community to capitalize System Dynamics in  
another way -- in this 50th anniversary year, consider a gift to the  
System Dynamics Society to capitalize our operations by building an  
endowment.

We look forward to seeing you all at the conference this summer,  
capital letters at the ready!
