ACTUALLY I HAVE SEEN MORE THAN A FEW
ARTICLES THAT WERE POSTED ON UPPERCASE
ONLY TERMINALS.  SOME WERE EVEN
RESTRICTED TO 40 COLUMNS.  IF WE ARE
GOING TO RESTRICT OURSELFS TO THE
LEAST-COMMON-DENOMINATOR THEN LET US USE
40 COLUMN UPPERCASE ONLY.  OH, NO
BRACES, TILDE, OR PIPE SYMBOLS BECAUSE
THEY DON'T PRINT ON SOME TERMINALS.

(Actually when I read an all UPPER CASE article I am left with the
impression that the writer has been SHOUTING at me.)
