Re: [tdf-discuss] Houston, we have a problem.

As I said previously, if I am hollering I will have an entire sentence/thought/paragraph in all 
caps. And since not all email programs will accept text that is bold, underlined, colored, or 
italicized I will continue to use all caps for emphasis, especially since that only includes a word 
or 2. But you need not worry about having to read any more all caps words from me as I'm (trying) 
to leave the list!

g'day Roxy - from one 68 year old to another similar - This limited
technology that we use to communicate through provides no means for
indicating when upper case text is shouting and when it's emphasing - Sadly
one doesn't have to follow threads like this one for very long to realise
that many/most posts are cases of people talking past each other rather than
speaking to each other. In the hope that you read this rather than being
something being sent past you then how about avoiding capitalising stuff in
future to avoid the possibility of being interpretted as shouting?
