James, I'm sorry, but you are asking the impossible. People who use this Site have such a wide range of ability that we have had to learn to live in the hopes that at least the names are SPELT correctly and that the dates are accurate. Best of luck with your Crusade. I do agree with you. + Jim

Jim That would be helpful, but I know I did query someone who'd typed their entire message in capitals, only to find out she had an eyesight problem, so then I felt crass. Another tip - one I often forget myself - is that for some reason when you create a thread you can't use paragraphs, GR just condenses everything into one long and hard to read spiel. So you can just say "see below" or "read on" and then add a thread to your original message, which will retain your paragraphs. nell

Could I suggest that all messages should be entered in small print, except for names, and all names should be in capitals. This will make it a lot easier for people who have got to wade through perhaps a 100 or more messages. Jim
