CP Group Inclusion!!

[Guest guest]

This is an inclusive group. To insure that everyone, including our

many vision impaired members, can get the most from your posts;

please stick to our basic posting rules.

Those who do not, will have their posts rejected. If a member

consistently does not adhere to the basics, he/she will eventually

will be removed from the group by the fed up moderators.

1. Use the enter key and make fairly short paragraphs. Posts with very

long paragraphs or no paragraphs will be rejected. They are virtually

impossible for people with vision impairments to read. They are even

hard for people with good vision to read!.

2. Use real words, not computer short hand. (No plz, u, r, kwim, and

the like). Computer shorthand is not recognized by most read aloud

computer programs.

3. Don't dot ........... everything, use periods and commas instead.

Those dots may look great to you, but they make some people's eyes

track inaccurately. Just use normal punctuation. Periods and commas

belong where you may have been sticking all those dots.

4. Use capital letters where appropriate, but don't " shout. " (all

caps) Besides being considered rude; posts in all caps are very hard

for almost anyone to read.

5. Edit/snip the post to which you are replying. This keeps read

aloud programs from wading through a bunch of rehashed stuff. It also

makes the digests very readable to all who get their CP mail in that

form.

6. Political posts and religious posts are not allowed. Not everyone

shares your political or religious views. We have members from around

the world and from every walk of life. Please remember this when you

are posting. If you want to send religious or political posts, send

them privately.

7. Read your posts through before sending them and please use your

spell checker. Correct the errors that you find. Make sure you've

made short paragraphs and that the original post has been snipped. If

you haven't done those things, fix them before you send your posts.

For complete information, please go to the File section and read All

About Posting.

Thanks.

Thank you, Lyndi for this reminder. I am finding that it is getting harder

and harder for me to see what I read, so anything that can help to make it

easier, is appreciated.

Love and gentle hugs,
