Re: (Meta) A word to the wise -> Don't use all caps in your thread Subject titles.

Kenny,
thanks !
Unfortunately, this was done the last 25 years here.
It is the word to announce a new package.
But perhaps, a new package is also spam.
Sorry,
Harald

There seem to have been a spate of postings here recently with the word
"announce" in all caps.  My kill filters filter these out.
 With good reasons:
     1) It is considered poor netiquette.  All caps is considered to be shouting.
Just don't do it.
      2) Spammers do it.  That's why I put it in my killfile(s).  The recent
spate of "mushroom spam" did this and I found the only reliable way
to get rid of it was to include a catch for 4 or more capital
letters in the thread title.
 As I said, just a word to the wise.
