capital letters instead of italics or bold - just a different method of emphasis - just because you could not figure that one out.....

To put it in easier terms - a BOLD word signifies one that, if spoken, would have had added inflection for emphasis. Maybe you speak in a monotone, but I don't and neither do I write in a mono"tone(?)".

Did you figure out that last one? A bit more advanced than the basic ". , ; ! ?"

If you wanted to pantomine that last, you would see someone do the stupid "double quotes" with the index and middle finger of each hand extended and slightly curved downward and the other fingers tucked loosely out of the way. The fingers would then be wiggled downwards a couple of times conjunctively to signify QUOTE / UNQUOTE.
(The capital letters here make it clearer that the words QUOTE and UNQUOTE were to be seen/read as proper names)

And as far as pulling my own pin ... you could not even imagine what I have been through and I would lay odds that you would have already killed yourself years ago if you had to go through the same.

Am I "cock sure" of myself? Damned right!

End of lesson...

No the capital letters indicate shouting. Do you write letters in the same fashion as you post on FR or is it possible you are just a closet Dem who has an answer for all of life's problem? "If only the world would listen to me everything would be fine."
I have to question anyone who tells me how much they have been through, " pat on the back, sympathy hound, looking for momma's tit," any of a number of names fit.
If everyone at work would just follow your lead any company would be a world leader,right? It's just a fact that no one can measure up to you. Just ask. Have you taken to telling people that an entire unit could be done away with if there were only three people like you to do the work.
Maybe you started your own company because you couldn't take working with (fill in the blank). If that is the case I am sure there were a lot of tears shed when you left. Did they give you a going away cake that said,"Don't let the door hit you in the ass?"
