Thanks Jared for your thoughtful comments and feedback. Ted pretty  
much covered it, I had 2 comments to add, see below.

This could / should be communicated more clearly with more obvious  
visual cues.

In principle I agree with you, however in the example you gave, the  
capitalization is intentional, it's to draw emphasis to the word  
Involved.

If the phrase were 'involve yourself', I would capitalize Involve,  
but not yourself.

Just as in 'Mail lists', the word list is not so important, so it's  
not capitalized. That being said, we should be vigilant about how we  
use capitalization and make sure we're in-consistent for consistent  
reasons :o)
