3. I used to use all caps in deference to my eyesight
but I caught holy hell for it from the all caps cops. I mean it wasn't as if I were trying to destroy the constitution and replace it with the bible or something equally nefarious. I find nothing wrong with all caps but I guess I'll just squint and be a good boy.

8. Hey, BOSSHOG, do you know you can get DU in large fonts?
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 03:31 PM by TomInTib
Go to one of the "topics" forums. I the upper left corner there is tiny type that says "switch to large fonts".
Click on that.
It makes everything bigger (No, not that, you sicko)

12. It's the same issue as "why do trees grow so high?" - evolution...
... because the ones that DIDN'T lost sunlight exposure and weren't as fit for reproduction.

The threads that DON'T have a lotta caps don't get the attention (in the long run, on average, yadayadayada) as the caps ones, and so you'll see a trend towards more and more CAPS subject lines.

15. It seems that everytime you post you are complaining
about something. If you don't like it there are plenty of other message boards, ya know?
