Is it too much to ask for correct capitalization these days? Coherent spacing? Has the posting economy run into some kind of upper case recession?

For those who aren't Classic, posting in a format such as this hurts. As in, actual bolts of pain were delivered to the noggin. The delivery of lower case responses was cute, but now half the board has become infected. Time to jettison that habit into the cold, uncaring reaches of outer cyberspace.

I am going to apologize in advance for not having a firm knowledge of when to use our friend, the comma.  Lets not reply with the angry flower comic on this subject, thank you.

Your initial "T" is wrong.

Erm, are you referring to the apostrophe as "the comma"?

No, you don't, and stop it.

I'm pretty sure you started the "let's not capitalize anything" trend.

At the time I thought you were doing it to deliberately antagonize me.

If god wanted us to use punctuation then he would have told the people writing the bible to use it.

Might have been me.  I tend to use it when being a smartass about shit.

Except then I just started doing it randomly.  Oops.

We've dealt with page breaks for years now, and yet in the past four months they've become vilified to the point of parody. Osama bin Charden ramming a space colony into Earth would receive more sympathy and understanding from some around here than a page break, which magically ruin their imaginary sense of comedic timing, and then further fail to realize that pointing it out leaves no room for doubt.

Both those things are valid because page breaks and new posts interrupt the flow of conversation.

Of course, the non-lazy fuck solution is just to edit your post and put quotes in for context.

It is not, however, the comedy option.  (not saying it's good comedy)

page breaks ... interrupt the flow of conversation.

Granted, but pointing out that there was a page break with faux rage is obnoxious to see at the top of just about every page.

You could always just try and put the  ::(: emoticon after every pagebreak, because that would certainly be cool and not tedious.

So what happens when a conversation about page breaks gets a page break?  Recursion is bad!
