Do you find people who type in all caps on message boards to be
Obnoxious?

I do.

WHY MUST PEOPLE TYPE LIKE THIS. STOP YELLING YOU MORON!

Sometimes all caps are fine....

BUT WHEN YOU DO IT ALL THE TIME, THEN IT'S JUST ANNOYING TO ME. YOU KNOW?

</silly rant>

4. Rev...
is there any way you could get both graphics in your sig onto the same line? Your sigline is always twice as big as the content of your posts.

And yes, typing in all caps is obnoxious.

Or should I lose my quote?

it's up to you. It's not a big deal. It's just the biggest sigline I've seen on here.

62. The problem is..
.... you cannot use TABLEs in the sig and without them you cannot do much about how the browser lays out your pix/text.

They probably don't allow tables because if you didn't close your tags correctly you'd screw up the whole page in a big way.

Of course, they could scan your sig HTML code and not include your sig if it is not formatted correctly, but that would take some work :)

44. well, i would be emailing china, and i think they were having a hard
enough time with english, capitalizing could make it extra difficult. some people say it's easier to read. i'm not a fast typer and using caps here and there slows me down. so if i can get away w/out caps, i often do.

WHICH IS NOT AN ACTUAL WORD. ALSO, I HATE PEOPLE WHO USE THE PHRASE "FOR ALL INSTENSIVE PURPOSES." IT'S "FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES," PEOPLE.

19. I hate the all caps too.
But something that is even worse is when a person types in all lower case with no punctuation marks at all. Not even a period to end sentences. My niece does this and I get a headache reading her e-mails!

I've never seen her type in caps, unless she was emphasizing something. That I don't mind, it just bothers me when people do it all the time and for no reason.

They're just just oooh CAPS, I LIKE CAPS, CAPS ARE GOOD LA DE DAAAAAAA. You know?
