Admin, how polite you are. I think that if I was in your shoes I would have "lost my cool" by now. Many times I have given up bothering to read something printed in only uppercase or lower case letters.
I really admire you and Slowhands, for answering enquiries etc. from people, who quite clearly have made no effort to read and absorb your instructions for posting messages. When one considers how much valuable information they are able to obtain for very little effort, it should be a matter of common courtesy to make an attempt to follow your hints and tips.
As always, many thanks for your very helpful site from which so many people must benefit.
Best wishes from Ann Sindrey.

Thanks for your kind words. Very often I get close to loosing my cool because of what is posted in the forum but most of the time I somehow manage to control my emotions.
Why oh why can't people seem to write properly anymore?
Many reasons I suppose! The internet seems for some to be a place to forget what they were taught and just go along with no respect for others because they are unlikely to ever meet the people face to face.
I can understand and accept poor grammar and non use of capitals in text messages, because it's so damned hard to get to the apostrophe character on a phone key-set. Press 1 seven times? No thanks. Though on a normal keyboard it is not hard to hold down the shift key.
Ok, end of rant. I feel better now and I will try my best to continue to be polite in my replies to postings.
Have a Good Day!
