Hi everyone,
I just wanted to ask if folks would mind altering subject lines with all caps back to regular capitalization when they reply. I can understand someone wanting to make their thread convey the urgency they may be experiencing by using all caps, but when subsequent posts continue with all caps it's kind of hard on my eyes.Anyone else have thoughts on this?
Thanks,
gg

I was thinking about that earlier actually, I should have done it myself. I'm not sure if it hurts my eyes but it annoys me.
I didn't used to think anything of all "caps" when I was new to the internet I didn't know it was considered rude, or shouting, until someone pointed it out..
then it started to bug me.. funny that.

It's just a request on my part, since it gets a bit overwhelming for me visually to view so many all caps lines. I wouldn't expect everyone to react the same way I do.
I'm a sensitive gal. Can't have me going all cross-eyed. I had to wear a patch as a child, and I hated that!
Take care,
gg
