Post I broke an Acts rule. Thanks for calling my hand on it. doyle
Someone posted about the use of ALL CAPS on the board. It's our looooong-standing policy NOT to have all caps in the headings of posts. If the poster wants to do that in their post body-copy, that's OK.thei call.

It most likely will cut down the response or readership of the article. Capatalizing a word or too can help emphasize something, but ALL CAPS is
considered to be impolite and is viewed on the internet as SCREAMING.

ARE YOU PEOPLE CRAZY?
I DO NOT AGREE WITH THAT!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

Anyway, when I saw the post about ALL CAPS, looking down the page I noticed it was one of my posts. Opps. Heading out the door for an appointment, I made a beginner mistake; DID NOT check the post before hitting submit.

Deeply contrite, I have changed the heading of that post back to lower-case and hereby promise to get a case of the DO-BETTERS. Thanks.

Doyle

2) Posting either a subject or a post in all CAPS is considered yelling rudely on the Internet. It is against Acts-celerate policy to use all CAPS when posting. CAPS postings may be deleted without warning.
