In response to the caps locks issue.
You closed your discussion, but I wasn't done discussing. Add annoying to nosy. :c)
Randi,
It's not just about the yelling or not. It's also about text all in capitals is hard to read and contributes to eye strain, plus, it's kind of lazy. It takes what? Half a second to hit the caps lock? I work all day in caps too, but the polite thing to do is to turn it off. Your choice whether to do this or not? But if you can't be bothered to hit a small button, I can't be bothered to read it. It's just my opinion and I am nobody special, but it would be much appreciated by many.
Thanks
Mel
p.s. nosy, curious, opinionated, out spoken.. that's me.

I guess I am one of the many who appreciates proper use of the caps lock key. It has been common netiquette since the beginning of the internets to not use all caps. It is considered to be the equivalent of yelling. Most people don't like to be yelled at. ;-)

I'm gonna start just posting this every time someone uses all caps. It's a major trigger for me.

good question Maria and I don't know. As I said before I only posted this as a discussion because the other discussion was closed. But I will politely ask Kessler just like anyone else next time I see him.

It doesn't bother me but I can see where it would be annoying. Especially if someone posted all the time in caps. It's harder to read.

it gives me the worst headache. I wont try to read lengthy posts in caps anymore. It just isn't worth it. She was rather rude to BB too. Just noticed that.
