Default i have a question

Hi Joseph,

If your reference is to the subject line, think about it for a moment.
Everyone thinks their post is the most important one in the group. If they
are all capitalized, which one does the reader choose first?

If you are talking about the body of the message, I, and most others, find
all cap's difficult to read and hard on the eyes. I and will often skip the
message.

Why do so many people fail to use the shift key when posting a message?

It seems to me that if they want their message read, they would want

to
make it easy to read. Ignoring the accepted conventions of capitalization
(THIS ALSO ENCLUDES ALL CAPS) just does not seem to make sense. Are

people
really that lazy.

People that don't use the shift key tend not to write capitals either
because they don't understand the use of them. Add to that the teacher
telling them that 'grammar and spelling doesn't matter, the fact that you
gotten your thoughts down in writing is good' makes the problem worse.

Some people may not be quite the accompished typists that others are, some
don't have the skills to form a proper sentence, some can do one, but not
the other, and cetainly not both.

Some people come here to ask what is to be found by doing a Google search,
or an MSKB search, but don't, because, believe it or not, there is a human
connection to be found here. Sometimes, not as kind or helpful as they

hope
for.
