But it still posted with words that had the first letter cap'd...I skip those. Btw, I could tell you the user id that does, indeed, use all caps...her posts are NOT changed.

yes, that is what I said it would do - you can try it yourself.

I know there are a couple people who right in almost all CAPS, but I don't know who you are talking about - because I would imagine, that somewhere they have at least one word in the post that isn't in all caps, and therefore, doesn't get converted to that silly up & down way

'Net'iquette considers ALL CAPS as screaming at other posters. Perhaps that's why...??

I never knew that was how people were typing like that. I always thought it must be extremely cumbersome to type with each word capitalized. LOL. The system has been converting it all this time!

LOL - I thought the same thing. I thought it was weird that they spent so much effort on something that was annoying anyway.

To answer the question, as you can see I have been a member for awhile but I don't have that many posts because I read, read & read long, short and by the time I get to the end everyone has pretty much said what I wanted to say!!LOL LOL

LOL, me too. I could never figure out why someone would go through so much trouble for something that is so annoying.

-- yep, despite my number of posts (I've been here for 2 yrs) -- sometimes I'm the same way. But, you're doing pretty good for only being her a mth or less!

I read them if the first couple of sentences interest me. If there are pages and pages of responses, sometimes I read like every 5th one to try to keep up with what's going on.

If I see a really long post, I usually read it because that usually means someone was really passionate or really pissed. Sometimes they go into really personal stuff because they are upset and well...Im nosey!
