Don't destroy 4 years worth of tradition. If you type something without italics once, then you will ruin your record and you will never be able to get it back. I wish I had a tradition like that. The only tradition I have is since I got 500 posts I got a custom avatar and never changed it.

I went for a very long time before changing my avatar. Over a year at least. I'll probably keep my current avatar for a long, long time.
It represents the greatest state in the U.S. union.

you don't see a difference between all caps and italics?
One is much, much easier to read. I have no problem reading italics. I don't know what is wrong with your eyes.

you forgot about panag's posts... 
as for sb keeping his italics, I really don't mind... as long as he doesn't add a "have a nice day" at the end of his posts, I'm fine...

Yes, dude, please remove it. It's quite annoying.
You don't use any smileys, either.

Could care less 'bout the italics, but not using emoticons!!!  What a waste! 
If you typed everything in silver it would make it a lot easier for me to ignore you

this gives me an idea.
I think I need an annoying gimmick. I don't think I'm as annoying as I could be.
Should it be some saying?, or some crazy format of type?
