Go up one level in this thread


Greetings:  Please be patient.  The internet is growing exponentially, with
countless new users who have no idea what USENET is; I personally have no clue.
Recently we had a windy discussion here about the use of too many CAPS and
exclamation points !!!  One of the moderators pointed out that eventually these
things become self-regulating, with members adapting to the overall site style;
it's a natural communication evolution.  I am willing to learn netiquette if it
helps make everything work better, but please remember also that for many users
here English is a second language - - it's tough enough as a first language.

Also, there are times when I find it useful to see the original post in the
reply.  If I do a filter for recent posts, and I stumble upon a post that is a
reply-without-quoting, then I have to go find the original post to see what it's
about.  People do things for reasons; maybe some reasons are better than others,
but with a little time and patience we will eventually all be on the same page.
Cheers,
Mark
