Automatically assume anyone who uses all caps mid sentence hasnt thought through their point and is internet rambling. I stop reading everytime.

Quite sure there's a few of us, if you need to emphasise anything perhaps being more succinct is better than subscribing to this form of communication.

Thx for the tip. Sometimes a quick rant is more effective or all I've got time to post (vs a substantially edited essay).

I'm also disappointed in the formatting: I meant only the first sentence to have a mid-sentence all-caps. The list of "AND..." items was supposed to be just that, a list, each on it's own line with those as the bullet point leaders. Sadly, it refused to format as I entered it and mangled it all into one paragraph, and I didn't have time to take more than one shot at fixing/debugging it.

At least, though it was an imperfect post, there are those who liked it.
