Grace, it doesn't bother me at all if people write in caps or in large
letters. What ever they need to do to see the words is fine with me. I have
been on this list for about 4 years now and have gotten some good advice.
Although I don't speak up often, I am always reading the posts. And I am so
happy to have found people who are going through the same things as me. No one
understands better than someone who has experienced the same thing. Thanks
everyone for being there.

Grace, thank you for bringing the subject up. It has never bothered me that
people write in caps. There are just so many of us with eye issues, what's the
big deal if we make it a little easier for those to read??? In the big scheme
of things, I think we all have more things to be concerned about than reading
in caps. Supporting each other is far more important in my book.

Grace, you are so right about this. If the people that say that it is too
HARD to read all caps, then just don't read and delete it. It is that easy to
do.

Hi Guys,
You know, there are several of us who need to write in caps, due to
severe vision problems. Though I don't use caps, I do use large font. I have
to, in order to see what I am writing. Recently, one of the long term members
of the TMIC, who is also a personal friend of mine, received an extremely
obnoxious email regarding this. (Complete with *language*.) You know, this
little group is for the most part---wonderful. It was the very first site that
I discovered at the time of my NMO diagnosis, and I have been made to feel at
home here. It's like having a virtual *family*. This unnecessary haranguing,
of a long standing member, has left a very bad taste in my mouth. Think of it
this way: In the big scheme of things, say, ten years from now, is it really
going to *matter* if someone had to use caps in order to communicate? I know
that I, for one, will certainly not be thinking about something as trivial as
that whenever I prepare to meet my Maker. Let's put it to rest, okaye?
Grace
