I have just been affronted by the indignity of having a post of mine “auto-corrected” by some soulless bot to remove the ALL-CAPS stylee that I had so wittily chosen for it.

So : One post to tell me that in fact all-caps is possible (but not helpful enough to say how) One post to suggest the OP is in the wrong forum One passably good witticism One moderator post to say the OP is in fact in the right forum One other smug “I know the arcane secret too” post One this Come on, I know you exist, you haters of ALL-CAPS but lovers of guns. I’ll give you a dollar if you come out to play. ---

Whatever this thread is, it isn’t about annoying \*The Great Unwashed \*by demonstrating your own ALL-CAPS foo. ---

**TGU** , mouseover-select or quote the bothersome posts, two DO contain the information on how to do it but it’s hidden except on mouseover-quote. Another one looks like all-caps but isn’t. ---

I’m against banning guns but I don’t really care about the all caps issue. I do think large colorful fonts and excess punctuation are annoying though!!! ---

It does suck to be declared Mundane and Pointless, but what can you do? ---
