Author [OT] Question for Kellie Fitton
Mike

2005-05-21, 3:55 am

I have been lurking, trying to get a feel for the NG before I post, and
I must apologize that my first post is OT.

Kellie, your idiosyncratic method of arbitrarily uppercasing words in
the middle of sentences and letters in compound words is driving me
nuts! Why are you doing it? Do you even know that you are doing it? Is
it a hangover from a programming style that is just so ingrained that
you cannot shake it?

Every time I read a post from you, I'm thrown off my tracks and I can
feel my brain stuttering over the unfamiliar and unexpected capital
letters. My reading and comprehension speed drops to near zero as most
of my scarce mental faculties are sidetracked into compensating for the
bumpy text.

So I end up not reading any of your posts to the end and not being able
to recall one single concept from any of your posts. I think you ask
interesting questions and provide interesting answers, I just ...
stumble.

No offense, but just really curious.
Curious Mike (with apologies to George the Curious Monkey)
