I think Linda has expressed it quite well, as have others in the last few days. Be tolerant, be kind, and get back to genealogy. The subject of CAPS is closed (I thought we had already exhausted this two days ago)! And yes, I know the subject line is in caps - that was my intent - emphasis. Iknow there are a lot more things *I* could be doing, three days before Christmas, than sending "From the Admin" messages about the use of caps. And I'm sure there are more important things for all of you to be doing - not to mention the purpose of the list - to find ancestors and/or cousins. Drop it, please! Marilyn list admin P.S. Joyce - it is not a *rule* that you can't type in caps. So you didn't break anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Lambert" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 22 December, 2004 7:55 AM Subject: [TAYLOR] Tolerance, Good Will.........and KINDNESS!!!!!! | Ok, I've kept my mouth shut so far....but this is getting ridiculous..... | | Whatever happened to kindness, tolerance and good will? | | Caps are much easier for arthritic people and people with sight problems. | Who cares how something is typed? We are all genealogy people and that is | the purpose of this list. I just joined this mailing list to research my | husband's family. I have to say that so far, I am not impressed. And that | is sad. | | Let's get back to genealogy........and let's be a little more tolerant. If | typing in caps is what allows someone to pursue their genealogy, so be it. | I have absolutely no problem with it. I keep thinking that with my | arthritis, some day, I may be walking in those shoes. | | May we please get back to genealogy?????
