EDIT: Why does this keep undoing the capitalization of CR, AR, etc., when I try to post it? Does it have anything to do with the bold tags, seeing as how it didn't revert the letters to lowercase in the previous sentence (it looks like it actually worked this time, but my OCD-ness compelled me to edit until the acronyms would stay capitalized, which took several attempted edits)?
