Please....
All-capitals in thread titles are helpful and useful because they denote when someone is indicating a film title, like when Dragon53 talks about new releases.
It also indicates when someone is writing with a emphasis or emotion (like when C Kinsinger titles a thread "CELEBRITIES you sat near?", or I titled one "Who the heck ARE these people?")
When you use "all-caps, all the time," the message board becomes a tiresome place to look over, forcing me to sort out who is exercising generally-accepted good form, and who doesn't care to do this for his/her fellow board readers.
Thanks.

we are trying to be informative and get people to read things, otherwise why waste one's time here.Commercials and ads didn't become a trillion dollar industry by companies hiding their products.
Sure, but when there is a plethora of thread titles, all of which are in all caps, or partial-caps, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of "trying to get people to read things"? In a forum where all the thread titles are all caps, your thread titles that are also all-caps don't stand out. I'm interested in the content of a thread title, not whether or not it's capitalized (which maks me want to read it less unless it's a movie title). Within a post you can italicize, bold, or underline to emphasize a word or point.
Anyways.... I agree with the original poster--please capitalize letters responsibly!

I do agree that one should not always use caps, Only when it is trying to bring out certain words of importance . In the thread itself, only titles, actors or once in a while a word one is trying to stress as vital to a point being made, However i can't agree when it comes to the thread titles themselves.A timid man never got a nice lady. i don't see anything wrong with caps on the titles, we are trying to be informative and get people to read things, otherwise why waste one's time here.Commercials and ads didn't become a trillion dollar industry by companies hiding their products.
Do you believe this bullshit or just type it?
Perhaps it's some kind of stream-of-conciousness writing!

A number of people, including me, have listed several reasons why we find this practice irritating.
We, and those who have not yet spoken up, would be very grateful if you and those like you chose to use all-caps in the ways we've mentioned.
Thanks, Dan.
