You did explain it. Thank you, and yes I agree that with correct punctuation, it does make it easier to read when not using caps.

Not sure why this didn't come to mind before this (probably the vapours) but that article reminded me of Archie and Mehitabel. I read all of Don Marquis I could get my hands on when I was in my teens, and I recommend his writing highly.

Just read the forum rules. Interesting. Here's one of the rules that I thought would be apropos for this thread:

"Proofread your posts for clarity and quality. Semantics, spelling, punctuation and grammar are important when conveying thoughts and information in a text-based medium. Avoid using slang which may not be understood by other members."

Pure common sense...

Well, you know what they say.....common sense isn't very common.

It's a good thing this is qualified with "other members" because we certainly have plenty of our own jargon here that is incomprehensible to non-FCers. <--- e.g.

Common sense dictates that it is safer to cross the street at a corner when the light is green, it is also safer to follow the circulation flow on a one-way street... At 4:30 am with no life in a 1000' feet perimeter it may be relatively safe to do almost anything if it's not foolish, even when that's not coded by law. Judgment allows us to survive most of the time but there are other times when accidents seem innevitable!
