More than that, it makes perfect common sense that when you are looking
for help, to do every the aid the ones you seek help from and to do
nothing to piss them off.
I, too, stopped reading after Jerry's first comment. It was too
difficult to read the all-caps. That is why stories in the books and
newspapers use something called "lower case".
Way back when, when I programmed in Fortran, I did it in all caps.
Then, when I became a professional programmer, someone told me it would
be easier to read my own code if I used lower case. They were right.
(This was before the use of camel caps became conventional).
