ALL CAPS IS CONSIDERED ADEQUATELY CONSPICUOUS FOR DISCLAIMING WARRANTY BY THE COURTS, THAT IS WHY IT IS A COMMON WAY TO MAKE STATEMENTS CONSPICUOUS. UNFORTUNATELY, IF YOU DON'T EVEN SHOW PEOPLE THE EULA, IT WON'T MATTER HOW CONSPICUOUS THE DISCLAIMER IS.

Please don't. You can make your point quite effectively without violating the guidelines. (I'll delete this comment if you lowercase your comment.)

You are not a mod, you have no authority save what you feign, and this comment precludes you from deleting yours.

You're right, I'm not a mod. The only authority I have is the good will of other HN members. The community is capable of encouraging better behavior on its own behalf. As for deleting my comment, that would be out of courtesy to my parent. The point isn't calling out bad behavior, it's improving the site. The site is better off without my comment after it's served its purpose.
