Look around the flat thing plugged into the computer thingy with all the
buttons, for one called "caps lock," and push it once.

Practice with it and see how it works.

If you'll read his sig, you'll find an explanation of the
all-caps post. I'll quote his sig here, so that you don't
have to rummage back through the thread.

: CHECK MY WEBSITE: www.dialcover.com
: Bill Turner, excuse caps, short answers, stroke.
: Business SASE, each order a copy of The Pocket Resource Guide.

If you ever suffer some sort of physical impairment, you may find
yourself wishing that people were a bit more accommodating towards
you.


I didn't miss seeing the end-tag. Many people who post have one or more
infirmaties, and draw attention to it only when it is necessary. This post got
my attention because it used keystrokes that require the use of the shift key
(not shift lock key), indicating that its use was optional, regardless of the
comment in the end-tag.

Now that you have a stone clad reason for messing with the guy, consider
this:

How were you harmed by his all caps message?

Suppose it added 10 minutes to the length of time it took for him to
compose the message just to add in the "optional shifts?" Ever watch
a disabled person use a mouth paddle to work a keyboard?

Suppose it made him feel nice in a kind of Model 15 teletype sort of
way to use all caps?

Either way, how were you harmed?

Give the guy a break. Maybe one day you will need us to give you one.

Without regard to all that (I don't have a dog in this fight, and you make a
good case) it's just as easy to leave the keyboard in lower case for all,
and easier to read, to boot.
