Just a note to ask that BYers refrain from using all caps in their posts, including headlines.
We've commented from time to time that all caps make a message of any length hard to read.
As to headlines, all caps seem to say "My thread is more important than the others." It's also a bit like yelling: "Look at me!"
We've mostly been quietly changing the headlines, including a couple already today, in the hope people will get the message. Occasionally we've been more explicit.
So we'll leave this reminder up for a day or two in the hope it might save us a little work. Not a big deal, just some fine tuning of the board ambience.
Some might say that's like pounding a little dent out of a totaled car, but that's another story.
