	Is there any way to "loosen up" the controls on same? I'd have posted the link to the muzzle cover, but I'll be damned if I was going to retype it, just to gratify the robot. As a matter of fact, since this is a pretty closed group, of reasonable adults, not subject to a heavy volume of public use, could we just dispense with the ban altogether? There are a lot of cases where it would be nice to be able to capitalize. Just a thought . . . . . . .

	I tried to modify the above and I could not post. I tried a 2nd time here. Can no longer use all caps. Mighty strange.

	I'll admit to some knowledge of Krags and TDs, but make no claim as a computer guru. I have not checked the entire font list, but I'm guessing that if one knows how, one can trick the robot into thinking that uppercase is on when it really isn't. Or perhaps one types a long message with a lot of extra lower case (since the system obviously allows a small percentage of uppercase not at the beginning of words/sentences) and then edits out the gibberish? Perhaps posting as a PDF? You know, I think that in this thread, we just may get pretty close to the answer of the age-okd question "How do you keep a turkey in suspense?" When should I gobble?

Being just above the "shift" key, it's an all-to-common mistake. Then, when you WANT to use caps, it won't let you! Done it a lot myself! --Jim

	No, he wasn't typing all caps. He was pasting a link that has a bunch of them and the silly nannyware wouldn't let him post it. (You need to *Login* to view media files and links) (Nanny doesn't let me do it either, not today anyway.)

	Forum moderation controls have been updated to allow 'All Caps' in posts.� The default forum rule for All Caps was limited to '6' consecutive capitalized letters.� The original rule was designed to protect the forum from spam that is usually computer generated (helping to differentiate between computer generated posts and user generated content).� This should no longer pose a serious concern as there are other spam prevention methods in place to help mitigate the majority of the spam posts.� Regards, josh

	To Ned: Thanks, I knew you could do it! To Chuck: Gobble, etc. To Para: Thanks for your support! Interesting tripping point - and, none of the earlier messages had more then six consecutive caps.
