Nancy: While I heartily agree with not using ALL CAPS or all lowercase I do believe that we have to make allowances for those people who have just learned how to get online and do genealogy, post to lists, etc. There are many older people and vision impaired people who have difficultly reading Title Case postings, so when they write messages they tend to use UPPERCASE letters only. We have to make allowances for the limits of some individuals and not make them feel welcome on the List. Colors and graphics and any html-based postings are prohibited by Rootsweb anyway and you'll not be seeing them on postings to this or any other lsit.

I meant to say not make people feel unwelcome on the list if they have limits with typing, vision, etc. Kathi Jones-Hudson, National Coordinator Tombstone Transcription Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/index.html ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

You are so right ,Kathy, and many people do NOT know HOW to change the size of their lettering on the computer, Most people that have the time to do Genealogy are retired and have trouble at times seeing small print. We can't all be computer geniuses. Linda --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.

I agree with you Linda. I also noticed on the 12 rules it had a section on signature and including name and other pesonal info. Some people don't mind doing that but in the days of spam I would think twice about doing that. Just speaking for my own preference. :) Marianne Dillow --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Linda Musgrave <no1rosemom@yahoo.com> wrote: You are so right ,Kathy, and many people do NOT know HOW to change the size of their lettering on the computer, Most people that have the time to do Genealogy are retired and have trouble at times seeing small print.
