I agree with Bill. Another basic netiquette rule, for genealogy lists at least, is to type all surnames in upper case. This is for the reader to be able to scan a message more quickly for surnames of particular interest. If the entire message is in upper case, it rather defeats the purpose. One can't see the tree for the forest in that case! Regards, Terri Hauk thauk@home.com P.S. Iris and Jerry HARTMAN, if you can't figure out how to change your font size, let me know what sort of computer and operating system you are using and I will try to help you.
