Mods, can you decapitalize the title please? The original article doesn't capitalize it (although see below for details).

Although it probably shouldn't be capitalized here, the article title definitely appears in an all-caps style on my browser (the html <title> doesn't, which is possibly what you mean, but I'd probably argue that in any normal conflict the actual content-title would win)
I dug into this a bit as my curiosity was piqued. The actual HTML h1 element is title case, and styled via a CSS text-transform to uppercase.

That said, regardless of how it was applied, the all-caps is for style, not the proper title of the article.

Ah, the title shown in the browser header is not all caps, but the font shown in the article is "all caps".

However, if you copy/paste the text somewhere else, you'll see it's just a font face rather than actual capital letters.

Regardless, it's poor taste.

Quickest and most reliable way to contact the mods is via the contact link in the footer. While they do see a lot, they don't see everything. They're very responsive in my experience. They fixed a title for me just today.
The capitalization helps with the alarmism.
