[Less]

Thoth, may I start by immediatly going off thread & thanking you for becoming a member of Accyweb, new members are needed & welcome to give their opinions just as much as any other member of the site. Without your input we have a grave danger of just getting stuck on the same old topics & re-stating what has been said before, (on thread from now).

I have been led to understand that the use of Capitals in a posting signifies shouting. The type size in reply to my comment suggests a near hysterical outburst.

Yes the use of capitals CAN signify shouting, but this is the English language capitals & putting a comment in bold type can also be a way of emphasising the way the contributer wants their thoughts to be displayed.

If you are refering to my reply (quoted below), then you should also notice that it ends with a group of smilies, in an attempt to show that my reply was tongue in cheek, because I often attempt to introduce humour into my replies. (Obviously didn't work for you though did it?).

The very fact that you posted this reply in this thread proves that you too can be just as guilty as anyone else for going off thread.

Can we have a little less preach & alot more practice? THANK YOU!

Most organisations, and I am relating, in this context, the membership of AccyWeb to be an "organisation", have an Inner Mafia, to whom criticism, particularly by a Newby is resented.

If there is an 'inner Mafia' @ Accyweb then I am not a member of it . (every time I post I hope that it is worth reading), if others are not free to comment on what I or others say then we can't improve the style of what we are posting. (It's all one big learning curve for all of us).

I hope this is not the case on this superb Board, which tolerates postings ranging from the almost inarticulate to the magnificent prose of our friend A-Bob

I agree completly with the sentiments that you have portrayed in the above & though I often go straight to read the latest out-pourings from A-B, I also try to read the contributions from all other members, (even though they may not have Bobs gift of expression their views are just as valid).

If you had not commented on the thread then I would not have been given the chance to think of the accyweb anti-meandering threads, thread. Which has surprised me in it's popularity, can I just emphasise that it was not a dig at you but yet another silly thread that I have started.
Please do not read too much into anything that I may post as I will always try to produce a tangent to the thread that, is the way my mind works.

Lots & lots of friendly smilies to you, all my Luv' Less.
