ADMIN NOTICE FROM EUNICE

[Guest guest]

Yes, my subject line is shouting. (lol)

I just got home to 50 or more messages. Most of them contain the complete

message you are replying to, some of them contain more than one previous

message.

Having to scroll through previous messages is very time consuming,

especially for those on daily digest. Not only time consuming, but it takes up

a lot

of computer space.

It is stated in the rules that members who do not edit messages can be put

on moderated status. Is that what I need to do?

This group belongs to everyone, not to just the members that post. Lets be

considerate of everyone, please.

hello eunice,

as you mentioned shouting, in relation to caps, i would like to seek

some clarification from you if i may?

when i applied to join i used all caps, as i recall, i have done so

for many, many years now, but always explaining my reasons and until

other members come to realise it, i opened all my posts with an

explanation, and a request for some consideration.

my application was accepted, and no conditions, other than the

general rules of course, were applied. having explained my situation

apart from a member, now left the group, who explained why it's

frowned upon in chat rooms, which this site is not, no one else had

any objections to my use of caps, given a genuine reason for using

them. it has never been my habit to shout at anyone, on the internet

or in person either, i was brought up to show and hold, respect for

others.

someone did suggest i might try using lower case only,but as i recall

it was not an objection to my use of caps, just a suggestion, no

more, others said the capitals were easier for them, and others said

they could care less, just so we could communicate.

i have used lower case as much as possible, but as i also participate

in several other sites, on occasions i have come here and simply did

not notice i had caps lock on.

basically, my question to you as the owner is, have you any

objections to my occasionally using caps? more so, as i have

explained my situation is it reasonable to expect that that should

be the end of it? it's difficult enough dealing with disabilities,

they cause enough isolation at times without self appointed arbiters

of what is acceptable or not causing embarrasment by highlighting

something they already have had explained to them.

i look forward to your clarification, meanwhile,

kindest regards,

bobby

Yes, that was I and I was trying to be helpful so maybe you wouldn't

face all this criticism. I think more people are used to reading lower

case but you are absolutely right, it's the communication that's the

important thing here. I'd say do what you need to do in order to

continue communicating.
