Yup, his forum.

When you make your forum, you can make your own rules.
Or set no rules.

Personally, I think it is pure stupidity to get your panties in a bunch over people using caps when sending a post. People just need something to bitch about, and bitching about caps is just one of those stupid ways. Thus, the world we now live in! Personally, your use of caps DID NOT OFFEND ME!!!!


Since ALL-CAPS seems much harder for most people to read, why would a person use that form to attempt to impart useful or relevant information?

Most people see an ALL-CAPS rant and ignore or erase it.

I didn't know the significance of 'ALL Caps' till it was pointed out in reference to someone's post. When I was in the RAF, and sending / receiving Morse Code messages, the encrypted (Secret) messages were all upper case. Only 'Plain Language' text messages, used upper and lower case letters. Cannot tell you any more than that. I signed the 'Official-Secrets- Act 1957. Think it is still active/relevant.

It does. Put a B in brackets [ ] at the beginning of your post and /B in brackets [ ] at the end.

Or folks could do what the owner of the site suggested:

"You might consider using your browser's zoom feature to increase the size of the font in case you are experiencing difficulties reading/writing."

OF COURSE, regular old HTML. I used it from 1998 until 2010 when I stopped making website. I should have thought of that. Now I KNOW I am old!

I think most of us here are old. When I say us that includes me.

Quite often I use Google to find answers. When I finally get to the answer I have the same reaction you had ... I knew that!
