Why has everyone taken to SHOUTING here on Genes?? Is poor nettiquette to use CAPS all the while. it's considered shouting and very hard to read. Seems to be catching as more and more are doing it. XXX Sioux

Someone has sight problems so it is easier for her to read. It's not shouting. Lin x

I think it's due to PIPS having poor eyesight.......I think you can be forgiven this once huh?

HI SIOUX, I AM BLIND, I APOLOGISED, SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, FOR MY SHOUTING, IF IT OFFENDS, I WILL STOP. PIPS XX

Well if you hold down the Ctrl button and scroll your mouse wheel you can make the words larger ( if you don't have a scroll wheel mouse, go up to VIEW at the top of the screen.... go to TEXT SIZE and select LARGEST) XXX Sioux

We only shout at Pips so she can see...

No worries Pips honey ((hugs)) No going to get on your case about it :~D Didn't realise you had a sight problem. Have you got your text set to largest? Have typed how in my last post. XXX Sioux

I HAVE NUDGED MY ORIGINAL THREAD FOR YOU, I HOPE YOU DO NOT MIND AND HOPE THIS EXPLAINS. PIPS XX

NO ONE MINDS AT ALL PIP......... SIOUX HASN'T BEEN ON LINE FOR A WHILE IS ALL AND WAS JUST WONDERING :)))))))

Hiya I have mine set to the largest text, i doubt its a great deal of good to our Pips. I have the problem i forget to put caps on when im answering her. xx

HI PIPS-DON'T YOU STOP POSTING,I ENJOY YOUR THREADS XX LYNDA IN CYPRUS

OK, FULLY UP TO SPEED NOW, HAVE READ YOUR THREAD PIPS. DIDN'T REALISE YOUR SITUATION AS I SAID. NOW I SEE WHY PEOPLE REPLY TO YOU USING CAPS ;~) PLEASE DON'T THINK I WAS HAVING A GO..... KEEP POSTING AWAY HUN, GLAD YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO USE YOUR PC. xxx (((HUGS))) SIOUX

HI SIOUX, THANKS FOR THE HELP, BUT THE SIGHT IS SO BAD, THAT DOESN'T HELP. BUT WITH SOME HELP FROM FRIENDS ON HERE, I HAVE SOME POOSIBILITIES OF AIDS. GADGETS BUT HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY SON IN LAW TO COME DOWN AND ADVISE, ON WHAT'S BET FOR MY COMPUTER. NO OFFENCE TAKEN AND NONE GIVEN, FRIEND. PIPS XX

SIOUX, PMSL, IF I USE LOWER CASE, i am shouting at you ok ? PIPS XX

LOL ..... NOW THAT'S A NEW ONE ON ME ;~) ISN'T IT WEIRD HOW, WE CONDITION OUR BRAINS TO PERCEIVE THINGS ? I JUST AUTOMATICALLY HEAR THE TEXT IN A LOUDER VOICE WHEN I SEE IT WRITTEN IN CAPS..... NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M SHOUTING AT YOU, BUT YOU HAVE A SIGHT PROBLEM, YOU'RE NOT DEAF !!!! ( THAT WAS MEANT IN HUMOUR) JUST ANOTHER REASON WHY GENES SHOULD GIVE US A DECENT STYLE FORUM WHERE WE CAN USE ITALICS AND BOLD, BIGGER FONTS.... IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU. ((HUGS)) XX SIOUX

I HAVE CONTACTED GENES AND RECEIVED A REPLY. BUT AS WITH EVERYTHING, WHAT SUITS ONE DOESN'T SUIT ALL. I HAVE LEARNT TO ADAPT, IT'S BEEN HARD THE LAST 10YRS, BUT I AM LUCKIER THAN SOME, I DO HAVE SOME SIGHT. AFTER 2 YRS., OF TOTAL DARK, IT IS WONDERFUL. I LAUGH ABOUT IT NOW AND IT DOES HAVE IT'S ADVANTAGES I CAN TELL YOU !! FOR SOME REASON, PEOPLE ALSO ASSUME YOU ARE DEAF AS WELL AS BLIND !! BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM , YOU CAN'T HEAR THEM LOL !! I CAN TELL YOU, EVEN THE POSH FART !! LOL PIPS XX

HI PIPS, HOPEFULLY YOU WILL GET IE7 PUT ON TO YOUR COMPUTER, THAT HAS A BUILT IN ENLARGER, AND EVERYTHING IS MADE BIGGER, NOT JUST THE TEXT, WORKS VERY WELL. ROSALIND

EVENING, WHO IS SHOUTING? WHO CAME UP WITH THIS CRAP THAT TYPING IN CAPITALS WAS SHOUTING. GIVE ME A FRIGGING BREAK. LOT OF ABSOLUTE GARBABE! I WILL TYPE IN UPPER OR LOWER CASE WHATEVER I CHOSE, WHO ARE YOU OR ANYONE TO TELL ME DIFFERENT. THIS IS A BLOODY WEBSITE. I DO'NT KNOW YOU FROM ADAM, BUT I WILL TRY AND BE CIVIL. AND ON THAT NOTE.... MIGHT JUST GO FOR IT NOW AND BE DAMNED. I AND OTHERS ON HERE HAVE BEEN TYPING IN UPPER CASE BECAUSE ONE OF OUR MEMBERS HAS A PROBLEM WITH HER VISION. IT IS EASIER FOR HER TO READ THE THREADS IN UPPER CASE. NOW IF THROUGH YOUR CRASS REMARKS SHE DECIDES TO STAY AWAY FROM THE BOARDS THEN I WILL PERSONALLY HAVE YOUR GUTS FOR GARTERS. OH AND DON'T WORRY. I'LL REPIORT MYSELF TO GR SO SAVE YOUR BREATH. YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE A SCOTTISH SKINNY GRANNY ON THE RAMPAGE. NOT A PRETTY SIGHT BUT BY GOD I WILL.. AILEEN XXX PS TORTOISE AND STICKY.... TIN HATS AND TO THE BATTLEMENTS MY LADS.

OUCH !! I'LL REPLY IN CAPS FOR PIP'S BENEFIT. AILEEN IF YOU READ THE WHOLE THREAD YOU SEE THAT I ONLY ASKED AN INNOCENT QUESTION, AND WASN'T AWARE OF PIP'S SIGHT PROBLEM, NOT - AS YOU SO RIGHTLY POINT OUT IT'S ANY OF MY BUSINESS - BUT ONCE AWARE OF THE SITUATION, I APOLOGISED IF I OFFENED HER AND YOU'LL NOTICE WE HAVE EXCHANGED POSTS JUST FINE. THERE'S NO NEED TO COME IN RAMPAGING AND YELLING. YOU'LL BUST A VALVE AT THAT RATE. IT'S OVER AND DONE WITH .... AND MAYBE ME ASKING HAS EXPLAINED IT TO A FEW OTHERS WHO WEREN'T AWARE EITHER. I DON'T WANT TO ROW OR HAVE TO DEFEND MYSELF. PLEASE DON'T LET MY ENQUIRY SPOIL YOUR DAY.HAVE A LOVELY EVENING. XXX SIOUX
