On another note if you care to be taken seriously you might consider getting rid of the all CAPS all the time... [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_caps[/url] With the advent of the Bulletin board system or BBS, and later the Internet, typing messages in all caps became closely identified with "shouting" or attention-seeking behavior, and is considered very rude. As a result,netiquette generally discourages the use of all caps when posting messages online. While all caps can be used as an alternative to rich-text "bolding" for a single word or phrase, to express emphasis, repeated use of all caps can be considered "shouting" or irritating. Its equivalence to shouting traces back to 1984 and traces back to printed typography usage of all capitals to mean shouting. Or... When an entire piece of writing is all caps, that person's caps lock is stuck. They need a new keyboard.
