Man, this was funny. You should have done the astrology thread in the same portentous way, kaleidoscope. "We Are All Puppets Of Stars And The Planets And Maybe Even The Asteroid Belt But Not More Distant Galaxies Because They Are Just Too Far Away And Besides They Don't Have Pretty Names."

QOS - that is so profound. Have you thought of starting a cult? I would sign up if you let me drive the Rolls Royces.

Yeah, but wouldn't he have been better off starting with something simpler like stickle bricks?

I just want to know what's up with the capitalisation of everything. Even the prepositions and conjunctions and articles are capitalised...

Dang, DKB beat me to the Wolfwood reference. Oh yeah, where do I sign up for the QoS cult, I can chant.

God's Purpose Is To Take Power Away From The Few- Out Of Corrupt Corporations And Governments And Give It To The Masses, Give It To Us, But This Can Only Happen When Each And Every Person Wakes Up- When We Have It In Mind To Eliminate Suffering In Life. When We Have It In Mind To Uncover What Has Been Hidden From Us For So Long, The Power That Lies Within.

No, that is the purpose of Anarcho-Syndicalism. Or are you telling me that god has joined the Cause? If so, I haven't seen him at any of the meetings. But if god's purpose is that, why hasn't he done that yet? We need to wake up, form trade unions, consumers associations, farmers co-operatives, and realise that Religion and Government are part of the Same Swindle. Overthrow the State!

I believe that's what VBB does if you type a post in all caps -- it assumes you made a mistake and corrects it for you

I've just tested that theory and typed a post in all caps but VBB didn't correct it. Come on, Kal, tell us why you did it?

VBB will alter a thread title which is all caps, to all lower case, but as you found, it doesn't affect the contents of a post(AFAIK).

it in fact does, provided the *entire* post is all caps. That includes quotes. Just quote this post, write something in all caps, preview, remove the quoted section, then preview again.

Which makes me then wonder. Why the hell did kaleidescope write everything in caps? That shit is unreadable.
