The purpose of these lists is to be a part of a group of people that will help each other. I am offended at anyone telling any of us how to compose our messages, much less lecture us on email etiquette. It made me so uncomfortable that I almost dropped out of this group. Now that others have come to the defense of the original contributor, I feel better. Please, let us remember why we are here and forget the criticism. Thank you, Dianne -----Original Message----- From: roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com [mailto:roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Sharon Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 3:45 PM To: ROOTS-M@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ROOTS-L] LOOK-UP PLEASE There is nothing in the OP's message that implies he is visually impaired, just as there is nothing in the respondant's that was posted to chastise. Don't make assumptions. Sharon John Berryman wrote: I've taught people who are legally blind to use computers. Using all capital letters is common among the blind, elderly, those with vision problems, and it's "not intended to be rude". People with vision problems also tend to send the same messages as the lack the confidence that those of us with good vision have. Please consider how you would like to be treated if you had a disability before you chastise others. The goal here should be to help each other when we can. We all have flaws and make mistakes, myself included. Someday God willing all of us will be old and perhaps our vision will not be as good as it is today. Being considerate shows class! John in WI
