Debby, none of us are offended by all caps, which others use, also. They are much harder to read, and rather tiring, but sometimes people who are extremely tired or whose hands hurt need to stick to caps. I'm delighted to receive your postings, any way you need to write, any time, and I'm sure others feel the same way.

Then, for heaven's sakes use caps and keep writing! Can anything be done to make your hand more comfortable? Glad to hear the boyfriend is ex.

Just wanted to mention that using caps is not a good idea as it is too hard

to read. Besides, in the net world, it is considered equal to shouting.

Highlighting, here and there, by caps is acceptable though.

Just my 2 cents.

I wish everyone a great 2002!

Sorry Bert about me not being aware of the reason behind that. So, no

problem keep using the Caps.

Bert,

I too, am not offended by the all caps. If this works for you, so

much the better. I am just so happy to receive your upbeat posts and

enjoy your delightful sense of humor. Too bad doesn't have the

options that aol has for mailing posts.

Hugs,
