ALL CAPS Re: [LbNA] MISSING BOXES

Plus caps are hard to read. The human eye reads shapes of words more quickly. Here's a fun example, see if you can read this paragraph:

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmeneal pweor of the hmuan mnid. Aoccdrig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy. it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a perbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter byistlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas thoughtsleling was ipmorantt!

But, could you please turn off your caps lock? In internet speak,
right now you are screaming at all of us for no reason. I'm usually
pretty live-and-let-live in terms of emails and posts and whatnot --
typos and chatspeak and all doesn't really bother me. But, it would be
easier to read without all the capitalization, and I do want to read
what you have to tell us! Thanks!
