I believe the author wants to highlight the eponymous heroes inner angst at the onset of puberty. I don't recall puberty making me hit the caps-lock key every time I spoke, but then mine was a stunted childhood, stuck in the hell of punch-cards. Perhaps if I'd attended a multi-sex school instead of a no-sex one, I too could have shouted in Bodoni Bold. Apparently, this is a long-standing typographic tradition. We can't blame either BIFF or the spammers for this one. -George On Sun, 22 Jun 2003 19:23:24 -0600 (MDT) ron minnich wrote: > This is clearly a fake. You can tell since IT'S NOT IN ALL CAPS. > > ron
