Messages all in caps are most definitely NOT easier to read, any more than are messages written all in lower case, sometimes without a hint of punctuation. Both are irritatingly difficult to read and, in fact, I usually don't bother to read such messages. The only case for using all capital letters is to highlight a name or surname. I may be thought old-fashioned but what is wrong with posting messages in simple, plain English, which means with caps where appropriate - i.e. at the beginning of a sentence, where used for a proper noun or, as I have indicated, to highlight a name - and also with correct spelling and punctuation? It really isn't difficult if one takes a little trouble. Moreover, a query phrased in good English is far more likely to get attention and a satisfactory response than one which is clumsily written and indicates the poster is only semi-literate. -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
