You may not know that all-uppercase letters are an acceptable way to
capitalize headings and titles, at least in the USA.

You evidently know nothing of what you speak. That's not a heading or
a title. It's a logo. There is no title on the site. The headings
are init-capped, e.g.:

Of course, that's why I've written dozens of articles on Perl and
edited a book on Perl. You, on the other hand, are posting
anonymously because you're too modest to reveal your true brilliance.

*What* is why you've written dozens of articles on Perl and edited a
book on Perl? The fact that you don't know the difference between a
title, a heading, and a logo? Good lord, I hope not.

Who's posting anonymously? I sign every post with "John", and a simple
Google Groups search would reveal that I've made no secret that my last
name is "Harrington". So: at the very least, I'm anonymous no more.
For more than a decade, I've also, as a professional science writer
with degrees in biochemistry and English literature, written literally
dozens of manuals for a biotech company. And, to thwart your
simple-minded arguments doesn't necessarily take brilliance, but I can
see why it would seem that way to someone like you.

OK. I have not kept up with your posting history, sorry.

I'm not arguing, John. I tried to help you understand why,
stylistically, it's acceptable to capitalize a title, heading, or a
logo (I hope you understand that the logo capitalization rules are, if
anything, *more* liberal than the rules for titles and headings). It
doesn't really matter to me whether you agree with me. I'm sure your
goal was not to have intelligent discourse in any case.

Your claimed achievements should also have prepared you for social
interactions without profanity and personal attacks. They apparently
haven't. The way you have spoken so far is simply embarassing for
someone of your supposed experience and intelligence. But it's
entertaining, I assure you. Bye.

That reply was pretty unAmerican of you!

Tad, I am continually impressed with your post classification and instant
recall system (PCIRS) (Can't think of a better name right now ;-)

Thank you for the entertainment.

I just call it "a directory of posts that have earned a negative
scorefile entry".

Yikes! (and that's only 6 years worth of accumulation, I didn't
record them for about my first 6 years here.)

The way you have spoken so far is simply embarassing for
someone of your supposed experience and intelligence.

And the way you've spoken thus far is entirely expected, for a moron.


Bye yourself,
John
