So...rather than focus on the substance of the post and say something intelligent about a serious subject matter you choose to critique style.

What if I actually wanted to SHOUT?

And, on top of that, you down-vote me for style without knowing my intent rather than on the substance of the post, which is what the voting is supposed to be about.

Have a good one pal.
