function startsWithAlpha(message) {
    if(message.length == 0) { return false; }
    var alpha = "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmQWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM";
    var firstChar = message.charAt(0);
    for(i = 0; i < alpha.length; i++) {
        if(alpha.charAt(i) == firstChar) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
