Let me just say that I for one am honored at the sacrifice you made for our country. (especially after reading your details in the "can't stand the heat" thread. I know that I can not even begin to understand the difficulties you have gone through, nor would I ever wish myself or another to have to experience it. I think it is a shame that others do not seem to respect what you and others in the military have done. Not to mention the disregard for a man who has an obvious disability, yet seems to be doing quite well for himself.
That said... I just have one suggestion to make. When you first started posting... even I thought you were shouting. As you well know, that is what capital letters are typically reserved for. Perhaps it might be easier for the newbies, if you had something in your signature line that said "I'm not really shouting... I have a disability that only lets me type in caps." That simple line might save you from having to explain things over and over again. I hope that helps... and thanks again for all your service to this nation and its people.

EAUCTIONMGNT,,,,,,MILLIONS THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS.
I DON'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THIS IN IN REAL LIFE AND PEOPLE ACYUALLY "SEE" THE RESULTS. THANKS FOR THE SIG. THOUGHT BUT I CAN'T SEE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
MANY OF AUCTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS ARE WRITTEN BY MILLIONS OF SELLERS. NO ONE HAS EVER MENTIONED THAT I WAS SHOUTING IN MY AUCTIONS, THEY JUST BID AND BID.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if someone is kidding or not. A disability that only let's a person type in all caps? I know a new disability pops up about every other week nowadays, but really! That's sounds kinda funny.
I'm glad Jack's (I mean JACK'S) disability doesn't prevent him from typing 10 messages a day, even if it prevents him from hitting the caps key.

Whoo Hoo get my own thread... deja vu all over again...
LOL, Gee Jack guess I hit a nerve.
Does the doctor know you are off your meds? What is like in that brain pan of yours? Do the monsters come out at night? Does your imgainary hurt get worse?

This would be a BORING place if we were all the same. And for sure neither JACK or Twelvepole are boring.
A little ruckus now and then is good so long as it doesn't get out of hand. And Trai is right. anyone is free to ignore anything here or just stay away.

I understand, Jack...
I have a cousin who has cerebral palsy(her mind is right, but she's in a wheelchair).
She lives in a group home and emails me once a week and uses all caps.
Her hands are so gnarled up that she can't type normally, she types with one finger(with her good hand) and uses caps, because it's easier for her.

Hey you guys it's not like there's a voice on here actually shouting for heavens sake!!!!! I wouldn't care if it was written in PURPLE AND IN CAPS!!!!! I can read big or little letters. Learned that in grammer school.
For the life of me I can't figure out why after all this time ALL CAPS is still an issue. Type on JACK any old way you want to. Everyone else types and says anything they want to so why shouldn't you????

Nevermind these tedious old geezers who can't tolerate all caps. Keep on typing Jack. You're a breath of fresh air!!!
