A Kind Request

Wed, 07/12/2006 - 01:26
I'd like to request that those who are typing in all caps don't. The reason why is for some reason it effects my photosensitivity plus I find your posts nearly impossible to read if I haven't already dropped to the floor. This isn't a criticism. A request. I know in the past others have stated it bothers them too. I was hoping someone else would post this, but I don't mind requesting it. Putting a few words in caps doesn't bother me and I do that, but not the whole post. All caps again is impossible for me to read, or goes 3D, zooms towards my face, and I'm down. Those who type in all caps couldn't know this, so I'm informing and requesting. Thank you so much. Gretchen

Ohhh, this is killing me. Every wise guy bone in my body wants to reply to you that sure it won't be a problem to not type in uppercase but I want to do it in uppercase!!!!! Gretchen, why do you give me such a challenge? :) But I do have to agree with you. All uppercase really does make my head start to spin. It's the same effect I get looking at an excell spread sheet. Thanks for saying something.

Golly, my friend. Thanks ever so much for mentioning EXCELL SPREADSHEETS. I get MAJOR 3D illusions, my stomach flips looking at spreadeets. Now, feel better? I can barely type now my hands are so sweaty, burp. Gretchen (wise guy - :) )
