| Aug 17, 2014 at 1:23 | comment | added | user6860 | @Gilles, w.r.t. capitalisation, names (entity references) in English do not necessarily possess any inherent capitalisation. The choice of whether to use upper or lower case letters for a name's constituent characters may vary with context; yet the name denotes the same entity. Write your name in capitals on an official form, & it denotes you as much as if you capitalise only the first letter of each word when printing it under your signature on a business letter. The boldface in my question makes the references unambiguous. Comprehensible, too: you & five others answered without trouble :) | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:50 | comment | added | user6860 | @derobert for classification (and therefore clarity), much as many computing textbooks do. There are three systems interacting in my question, and their names (or, if you prefer, references to them) are in boldface. Naught else is boldface. Before someone asks (I mean, really! I'm already being asked to justify perfectly comprehensible formatting choices!), yes, one of the systems is human and the other two are non-human. And Gilles, thanks, but no, I did not mean to use code formatting. I prefer to use code formatting only for commands or code, neither of which are present in my question. | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:39 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | If you meant something other than emphasis, then you shouldn't be using boldface. You may have meant to use code formatting for machine names: remote and local (which then must not be capitalized); it makes no sense for the user since you aren't giving names. | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:38 | comment | added | derobert | @sampablokuper if you're not using boldface for emphasis... then what are you using it for? | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:37 | comment | added | user6860 | @Gilles, none of the sentences in my question are missing words, either. | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:36 | comment | added | mikeserv | @sampablokuper - don't care about bold. the <tags> matter. | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:36 | comment | added | user6860 | @derobert, I have not used boldface for emphasis in my question. | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:35 | comment | added | user6860 | @Gilles, there is no abuse of boldface in my question. | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:35 | comment | added | derobert | @sampablokuper you've used boldface for emphasis to the point it's hard to read; further, you're approaching when everything is emphasized, nothing is. | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:34 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | abuse of boldface is hard read. And sentences missing many words. | |
| Aug 17, 2014 at 0:32 | comment | added | user6860 | @mikeserv, thanks. Can't understand the call to downvote, which I regard as objectionably cliquy and exclusionist. I have no problem with the tag changes, but I do take exception to my question being reformatted in a manner that reduces clarity. I don't use chat, so can't discuss it there. | |
