Notes from the SCO conference callNotes from the SCO conference callPosted Jun 7, 2003 18:07 UTC (Sat) by mmarq (guest, #2332)In reply to: Notes from the SCO conference call by evgeny Parent article: Notes from the SCO conference call i think what you mean is that you only like to listen to yourself, and the ones that think like you. WHY DONT YOU BUY LWN?????? that way i can assure you that you wouldnt need "anti-spam", and all your comments always be in the top of the list... and of course, with only your close friends subscriving, you wouldnt have to worry about the graphical aspect of submissions either. Conclusion: what the hell are you doing in a Linux forum anyway?

What I mean is I like to listen to people who have smart ideas; not loud ones. The art of discussion isn't about how to produce more decibells... > WHY DONT YOU BUY LWN?????? This triggered my "all-caps-on" brain filter, so the rest of the post went to /dev/null.
Notes from the SCO conference call Posted Jun 9, 2003 14:07 UTC (Mon) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] Why the well people associate caps to something loud?... they surely dont emit any sound, or at least is not that the intention when you see the size of letters "Comment editor" in this site... surely is not an outburst of LWN editors temper.ok, ok,... i can see a respectufull attitude of not wasting to much space, using caps , for saying the same things, and that others can make better use of... but i dont change a comma to what have posted in caps. And "THE IMPORTANT ISSUE" (only to be more enfatic, not to shout at anyone year) is: Why the same things that happen in Germany (by LinuxTag and Tarent), restaining SCO in courtrain, is not happen in USA?.

It's normal for English typesetting to make the title different, in that form or another, from the text. Using caps for an entire paragraph is AGAINST the typesetting rules. When one breaks a rule, there should be a reason. Accentuating an important word in a phrase is a well-accepted rhetoric approach. But accentuating ALL words is just a yell. So that's what your post looked to me (and I bet to many others) - a loud scream.
Notes from the SCO conference call Posted Jun 9, 2003 22:47 UTC (Mon) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] Nevertheless (for the last time), i'm typing this in a fonetic and not in a idiographic language, caps dont "mean" a more or less audible sound, but a more "IMPORTANT" letter, word or sentence specialy used at the begining of first names. Although the association is understable, bigger letters are more "adquate" to represent a yell than caps,... check a languages prof!... and dont think i dont repect rules.
