Learn something new all the time.

People were shocked by it last time. Also if you try to type a post only with a smiley that consists of pictures of big letters (such as " : D "), it will decap it, therefore making it un-smiley.

But it's one of the ancient policies of the 'Downs and I daresay a clever one. Prevents "caps wars" (not that I think that's a thing anymore).

Just goes to show that, in my 15+ years as a Downer, I've apparently never tried an all-caps post!
