    I don't think that you were offending anyone by your choice to use all lower
    case letters. In fact, I think the thread might have started when I sent
    out the 10 commandments of e-mail. When I opened my own message on the
    listserv I laughed out loud that I had 2 mistakes in my own message. Anyone
    who has postd a lot of messeges to the liste has probablie made countles
    speeling mistakess and grammer errars (I did that on purpose by that waye).
    The lower case caps DOESN'T bother me but sometimes all caps makes me think
    that the writer is SHOUTING! Sorry to affect the statement you were making
    about our insignificance in the universe. Tongue in cheek, Michelle

    funny that this thread began about the lack of tolerance of others. i
    began
    using all lower case letters in high school. i was trying to make a
    statement about our insignificance in the universe. (i was one of those
    studen
    ts) it has stayed with me all these years and has become my personal style.
    naturally, i am prevented from making my "statement" in many areas of my
    life. i generally know when and where and was under the impression that
    using
    all lower case is acceptable in email. i never believed i was being
    offensive here in this forum.
