Reedhill, please be aware that posting in ALL CAPS constitutes screaming at the top of your lungs and is generally frowned on.

About the Least one can pay for training in KY is $45 a day - less than that the trainer is not going to be able to afford quality help, feed, hay, etc. You get what you pay for.

wow, how silly.........who made up that rule?

at home anytime i respond to emails, i respond "in" their email with all caps so thay can see my responses to their questions, and in bold print, and usually in a different color.

i'm sure glad this strange rule is not a "rule" for my personal emails, everyone would think i was psychotic now woulndn't they!

in fact they appreciate being able to see my detailed responses so easily.
i disagree with what capital letters means on here, for some of us, it's how we comunicate every day. i don't recall anyone who answered my post worrying about how i typed my question. they were simply kind enough to reply, and HELP me.

:cry: i frown on such childish made up rules.........

It is not just "on here" - it is a standard internet "thing" - ALL CAPS means you are thoroughly outraged and screaming at someone. It has ALWAYS been thus, since bitnet in the 70's. People probably DO think you are psychotic - the better to respond more politely to. As in tiptoe around so one doesn't get flamed, stabbed or shot.

Agreed with Madelyn. In emails, inserting text in all caps, italics or a different color font to differentiate your comments from the text of the email you're replying to is not unheard of. I usually opt for bold or italics myself, when it's necessary to interject comments in original text.

However on a forum or in a chat, typing in all caps has always been thought of as shouting at the very least, and hysterical raving at the worst. It's almost always considered offensive, whether the poster intends it to be construed that way or not. It might seem strange, but it's a matter of universal internet etiquette. :) I learned it the hard way back in the mid 90's. :wink:

then why is it the folks responded to my questions, had no problem with how i typed it? could it be they were smart enough to see i was asking a question in the content, and my question was valid coming from someone who needed information? why are they smart enough to see that and you aren't?

should i be sorry for not being on brisnet since the 70's, heck no, not in a million years, is this how all posters are treated or just a select few? i think people probably think you ARE psychotic for even mentioning it. me tip toe around, for what, to be afraid of you? are you going to come flame, stab, or shoot me...........sounds like a perfect threat from a moderator, quick let me copy and paste this to some people, so as to tell them how you really are...........humm...........flame, stab, or shoot.........you are either psychotic, or is this what you call a bad day?
