PLEASE BE AWARE ADMINISTRATORS ARE ALTERING PEOPLES POSTS
WHICH UNDERMINES THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS FORUM
BUT THEN AGAIN IT BEATS CAVING

Please be aware that the bloke who owns the forum has the perfect right to be pissed off with people who do silly things like post everything in caps.

It's his forum, after all.

Bog, I've asked you quite pleasantly on countless occasions to stop posting in caps. This is quite normal internet etiquette:

Another rule is to avoid typing in ALL CAPS, which is considered shouting or yelling

This form of typography also appears in on-line forums. It was once an inevitable byproduct of using machines with limited support for lowercase text (such as certain dumb terminals, early Apple II models), but as full support of ASCII became standard, it became solely identified with "shouting" or attention-seeking behaviour. As a result, netiquette generally discourages the use of all caps.

Since you've kept ignoring this request and continue to post everything in caps, I have had to alter your posts accordingly. As long as you continue to post in caps then I will continue to edit your posts.

Instead of whinging about it in a topic such as this, why not use your caps lock key like the rest of the forum users manage to do quite easily?

Why on earth do you consider your posts and opinions so much more important than everyone else's that you need to SHOUT?

On my keyboard, even the CapsLock key is labelled in lower case. 

Perhaps Bogof might consider one of these to improve the pooting experience:



Or just a more efficient keyboard, doing away with all those unnecessary annoying buttons?...

You are too kind Bubba, I wouldn't alter the posts, Id just delete them....send a polite reminder, and if it continued bin him....

Andy, given that he hasn't been active since the day he started this thread, maybe he's just left.

locking this - Bog an Bubs actually know each other in 'real' life and there was some confusion surrounding the matter.
Cant see the need for this to drag on on here..

nothing to see here - move on, move on.
