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.

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
