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

+1 to what Harald said in that this has been the practice in c.l.t for as long as I can remember and never heard this objection before. I suppose no harm is sticking to "Announce" instead in the future.
However...
Being considered poor netiquette is just misleading. Poor netiquette is when the entire post or a substantial portion of it is upper case, not a a single word (or 4 letters in a word!). A subject of "NASA finds life on moon" is hardly poor netiquette :-).

 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.
