    Default APOLOGY

    I`ve just received a PM from a member chastising me for using capital letters in a couple of my posts ,saying it was "very rude" of me and it was the same as angrily shouting at someone in their face.Well you could have knocked me down with a feather, so I wish to apologize to all the forumites for being so rude and shouting in your face. I was going to tell the said member that because I live on the other side of the country ,I need to shout so that all you deaf B*****s over there can hear me. But I didn`t want to upset the moral police any more than I have.

    PS...Hope you don`t think that my title APOLOGY was said in anger.

    I think it was a bit presumtious for said member to assume that you knew that CAPITALS means shouting. It may have been more appropriate to ask first if you knew this and if you said yes then maybe suggest what he/she did?

    Explain by all means but no apology needed if you didn't know.

    S'OKAY, YOU CAN SHOUT IF YOU WANT TO!

    Just so this thread doesn't get out of hand, it was I who sent a pm to Dusteater and politely pointed out the error of using continuous caps.
    I also sent a pm to BobL as well.

    Everyone is happy and we are still mates on the forum with big grins.

    Nothing more to see here.

    Cheers everyone
