This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/UiB.2ACI/1337.5 Message Board Post: I received a reprimanding e-mail from a certain Linda, telling me I had used bad manners by using an ! after Help in my request. It seems I am bad mannered for "screaming" (?) and time didn't matter, I could wait. She also misspelled 2 simple words & asked me not to respond, as it was "flaming". So to all those whom I offended by using ! in my post, my sincere apologies to each. I am not exactly a newby, but I am a bit computer illiterate. I have written hundreds of e-mails and NEVER have I received a complaint on the way I phrase things. Maybe they just smile & ignored my stupidity, remembering that none of us are as smart as we think we are. I plant my garden & those who don't like my flowers usually just stay out (may I use an ! here?) . Being a senior citizen -plus, yes, every day-- even every hour is very (underline very) important to me. And, my ultimate sin is smoking (hold your nose & run before this letter gives you cancer). I am grateful to the Good Lord (no offense intended), for allowing me to live so long. So, when I am laid to rest, they can say "she may have been the above, but she was considerate, and offensive? NEVER. Above all, she could spell the words, little and Betty". Betty.
Dear Betty, Hello, don't let it bother you. There are some out there that think it's their job to tell everyone what to do. Well, it's not!!!! Keep posting and searching for your ancestors and in my humble opinion, use all the !!!!! you want. They are harmless!!!
