    Grrrrrrrr!
    Is it just my imagination or are there a lot more ons CAP BANGING BOOBS on board lately. It seems to me a lot of new titles posted are in all caps, well you just figure the guy really needs help BADLY. Then you check out the thread and I’ll be damned if every post the CAPP’ER makes is still in all caps, really makes me want to help the boob. I guess either the dumb-ass is too stupid to release the cap lock or just don’t know better of even probable more likely does not give a rip!!

    Well needless to say it pisses me off every time I see someone do this and it seem as if there are a lot of them now??
    Vent, vent, vent!!!!!!

  3. Respond with a long two page response, in all caps of course, describing how "Once I had a movie that was similiar".

    HEY, I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I'M ON AN APPLE II+ AND I DON'T HAVE LOWER-CASE LETTERS! I'D HAVE TO UPGRADE TO AT LEAST AN APPLE IIE FOR THAT.

  7. How'd you do your signature then? :P

    If someone posts in capital letters it makes me less likely to help them out. If it is a real problem I still will but if it some question that can be answered by them looking at a post 3 rows down then I'm not going to reply.

    Another one of my pet peeves is when people think they can add formatting tags to their heading i.e. [size=huge]HELP!!! I'M AN IDIOT[/size]. Oh, also people who can't use a descriptive post title.

    What annoys me is scrolling sideways when there is no along URL involved
    Like here!!!

    Why do we have to scroll 6 inches on this one? Damn, I hate that, and I don't hate much.

    And, I hate when I hit the caps lock, type a line, look up, and see a whole loud sentence. Have to back arrow, do it again, and usually forget what the hell I JUST TRIED TO SAY. sEE, JUST DID IT AGAIN. Shit, hate this damn board. Have to pry off the caps lock, like the old one.

    Ah, well.

    So, who knows how to get it back to a page wide?

    If nothing else you have figured out how to keep me off that particular thread.

    Some wierd stuff there.

    It is like that because of what I put in the thread.
    There is no way that the software can wrap the single long line of characters.
    It needs a space or some kind of punctuation to be able to wrap the words.
    Sometimes it is an extra wide picture too.

    Just showing that I know how to be the supreme idiot around here.
