Excellent Idea Kathy !! Most important is that we all help one another and work together for a common goal to find our ancestors. At 73 years old, I pretty much type as best I can, I never did much "office work" Also, I am reluctant to change, to suit a generation that I have children AND grandchildren living in . (although my five year old and my 13 year old grandsons can work a computer better than I can, ) New generation rule.................. Caps are shouting , Not so in my day.!! You shouted with your voice and boy can I do that after raising five children !!!! Hopefully, When reading the printed word, a person can tell by the content of that word if you are angry or not , Believe me, when I am angry, my words leave no doubt !!!! another pet peeve of mine is the "new generation's" habit of saying I lv U. If you can't take a second longer to say "I love You," then why bother saying it at all. Just sign me an "old grouch" that won't take criticism about my typing or my intent from "Kids" that make their own rules, after all, we learned to read and write LONG before the computer was invented !!!!!! P.S. Long is in caps because I want to stress the years BEFORE the computer was a common means of communication. Love, Linda --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

Way to go Linda. I agree. I realize that caps to some is considered "shouting", but have our skins become so thin that this is really offensive? I would rather judge the content first. The message is what is important. Let's not get carried away with silly things. Jean Linda Musgrave <no1rosemom@yahoo.com> wrote: Excellent Idea Kathy !!

I agree 100%. This message board is not for such criticism as I've been reading. It is for genealogy purposes. We need to be more tolerant of each other. I am 72 and find things rather frustrating at times.

Listers, I can't speak for others nor want to but I think the main reason for not using all capitals or UPPER case as some prefer is the fact that reading all upper case or caps is more difficult. Sometimes it looks like one of those never-ending German words. Al At 07:55 PM 3/9/2008, you wrote: >Way to go Linda. I agree.
