Hi girls!
Just a quick note about using caps in your postings: We would really like everyone on our forum to use upper and lower case when you're typing both your titles and your messages. Caps are exceedingly difficult to read and have the feeling of "shouting" when used on the web. Our chatroom would turn into an unreadable mess if everyone shouted in Caps.
Thanks everyone!
Carol

Not to make light of a serious request, but I have a relevant story/tangent:
The other day a friend posted this quote on fb: "Therefore, we need not expect to have better states until we have better men." -Plato
I responded with: LOL
As I clicked "Submit" it dawned on me that the all-caps lol was a real throwback; it's been a decade since that style was commonplace in the world of acronyms. I often find myself Adding Emphasis by Adding Capital Letters, but (almost) NEVER all-caps.
Obviously, the "better men" thing really got me!

Just bumping this up regarding the use of all caps.

We would really like everyone on our forum to use upper and lower case when you're typing both your titles and your messages. Caps are exceedingly difficult to read and have the feeling of "shouting" when used on the web. Our chatroom would turn into an unreadable mess if everyone shouted in Caps. Our moderators would rather not delete posts using all Caps for titles, etc., so please keep our forum decorum rules in mind when creating your posts.
