Amazing that people who use forums don't know that using upper-case is considered bad form, shouting, ill-mannered, etc. I started using email in the mid-1980's when our Company introduced it as a form of communication and even then using upper-case to communicate was considered boorish, rude, and inconsiderate...and said more about the person sending it. As time passed, more than few careers were hurt and people got the idea. Sorry for the perhaps pompous history lesson but in today's rapid paced environment it's important to know how to communicate; how be effective in communication; and what not to do. Excuse me, I think I have a tee time now... ;D
