Bob and the group:

I am not  trying to be a ah,  I was only pointing out the fact that you did 
use all caps on a few words.  And yes  I also use all caps for my call sign 
(since 1953 at FCC office & 13 wpm!).

Who came up with the shouting thingy any way?

What difference does it make?

It is like the time I was talking to a guy and when he said something he 
knew was true I asked him how he knew it was true?

He responded "I read it in the newspaper!".

Bob,  I am sorry - I did not mean any insult.

Gene

Gene,

My "First -     Internet etiquette:  The use of all Uppercase letters is
the
equivalent to shouting...."

Was in reference to an entire message.

I'm sorry.  Every Single time I sign a message I use my call sign.  That
is how it is on the license.

I would point out that there is a mixed message in this as your callsign
is all uppercase in your address.

I'm confused!

How would you emphasize words to ensure that you can make point of
certain things?

Would *very* be a way?

I'd say that you are a bit picky, but I don't want anyone to take this
wrong!

Simply making a point, and wanting input!

Bob - n0dgn  [Just for grins and giggles!]
