I browse the forum regularly and rarely post.
In computer language.........capital posts.... are usually considered shouting.
All of your posts are LOUD!
Probably an oversight.....

Not all caps. Number 4 size font comes out bold and used by others too.

SO WHO CARES WHAT PRINT IS USED, CAPS ARE EASIER TO READ AND IF THE CHIEF WAS REALLY GOING TO SHOUT, EVERYONE WOULD KNOW IT.

A few of us aren't what you would call computer literate (myself included) and don't know the difference. Nor do we care.
Only a slight oversight on your part, not the Chiefs. If he or anyone else, wants to use any type of font, size or color, this computer literate person doesn't care one wit.

Would you rather the "Chief" wrote like this?

Funny,wish I'd thought of that.
Dave,
If you only browse and don't reply, why does it bother you so much? Just because a RESPECTED forum member posts in large font doesn't mean you have to criticize him for it. Oh, my bad, I just did a word in all caps, are you going to start a thread about me now?
It sounds to me , like some people, are just bored...
I try not to judge too harshly. Dave M has only 26 posts, so perhaps he is not familiar with the forum. However, he has been a member since 2005 (longer than myself) and if he has done any browsing on this forum at all, he would certainly come across one or two of Chief's 7000+ posts and would have realized that the size of his type was not menacing.
I am a strong believer in etiquette. While there may be universal standards, you still must understand local customs. The personalities on this board is one of its greatest strengths. I feel bad the poster does not recognize this.
Regards,
John

Traindaddy, this is a family forum (supposedly). On my planet, you would get your mouth washed out with soap for writing this! Especially this part "CHIEF". Watch the language!

Actually, Dave there are no caps in computer language. It all looks like this ... 01011100011010.

CSX.....In the future, please show some respect for the other forum members and maintain the integrity of the thread by staying on topic. The second half of your post belongs in the Pot. Even us Yankees know something, though Chief won't admit it (see thread about train room lighting).
I havn't seen a counter attack like this since I saw Custer's last stand on the History Channel.
