It is also VERY difficult to read with speed. I prefer normal text to help me get through at least 200+ emails a day. So I beg of the all caps typers to use normal case. Please do capitalize when typing sentences as well. I am one of those who can read mistyped semi scramble text and understand it. All caps kills my brain.

That won't fix "all caps" since capitals and lower case are all individual ASCII coded characters and go through the system as such. But, if you increase the font size at your end to read it more easily it won't show up any differently at the reader's end. As others noted, all caps in e-mails is "shouting", Hi! When I want to emphasize a word politely, I use asterisks like *this*. For me, that's the ASCII equivalent of boldface type. 73 Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Sorry About the caps, seems like i'm always saying i'm sorry about the use of capital letters. I have a vision problem, so i'm going to increase the size; hope this will show up! i like the color blue, but don't know if this will go to the reflector the way i see it. Wish i cold see better, its just a habit for me. Thanks for letting me know it may bother some people, i don't really understand why it should, but may someone explain to me about the caps? thank you all, god bless you all and god bless ham radio. vincent wb2pdw 73 love the kx3 !! wha hoo! ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
