I'm sorry I posted it once. I don't know what may went wrong.
 
I don't agree in this case.
If I don't want to capitalize www — and I'll agree that it looks strange — I can write: "The websites www.a.com and . . . ."

It's the same as starting a sentence with 1984. It wants to either be "Nineteen eighty-four . . . ." or "The year 1984 . . . ."

Or the computer I'm typing on now is an iMac. My wife tells me (and she's usually right) that the i should never be capitalized (except, of course in Trump-ese, where it would be IMAC!!!!), so instead of "IMac . . . ." or "IMac . . . . ," it needs a word in front of it, like, "Apple iMac . . . ."

I might be off base on this, but I've never encountered an exception.
 
I definitely wouldn't capitalise the first "w" of "www" in a website address, even at the start of a sentence.
