I just need a little help. We've got a couple of guys who insist on posting in all caps, on a hunting forum where I'm one of the mods.

If I've started a problem, then I ask the mod’s to lock this thread.

While I know NOTHING about the caps thing...I do recall (I think) someone “high up” here, one time, say that even pics don’t use up more bandwidth as far as this forum goes.

I think.

Who knows.

I’m old.

And you didn’t start a problem...this is going to be a fun thread....and maybe a mod will answer you?

Shut down the thread? What are you - the grinch that stole Christmas or something?

Serious response: your hunter friends are probably lazy. They don’t want to worry about capitalizing, ever, like when teens text each other. I think you should ban the use of all caps on your forum, because it is far harder to read.

And realize that simple questions on FR are soft pitch “straight lines” to all of the FReepers not currently offered lucrative comedy shows on the Vegas Strip. It’s just a way to have fun. Enjoy.

The Mods are off today (no puns about always being off) so I’m going to fill in for them. Here goes!

Yes, you do need a little help and that’s just what you’re going to get... a little help, very little and worth every penny!

Just turn the monitor off while you type and the whole question will resolve its self like globular worming.

Whoops! One of the Mods just came in.. gotta go..bye.

Oh, sure, get us all started, and then take your ball and go home?

I THINK NOT!

Don't you dare! These threads are fun.

Serious answer: the binary string sent is the same size for every ASCII character and the extra characters required for markup (bold, color, larger font etc) are insignificant for broadband connections.

No back to snarking.
