Hi all, I know that using caps implies shouting. But lets get real here there are many people that can not see very well and using caps is the only way they can see what they are any one else is writing. I'm sure we all know that when someone writes to a genealogy list using caps that they are certainly not shouting at those they are requesting help from. Just my 2 cents worth.

If someone cannot see well, it makes more sense to use a larger font. Please note this is not all caps but is very legible. The fond size is 18.
