However while not trying to be an ass about it, I have to wonder what sort to school monitor mentality must exist in people that this is of so much importance to them. I have been a trial lawyer for 33 years and have read thousands upon thousands of emails in every imaginable form and not once has this shouting business ever crossed my mine. I must confess that while on this occasion it was purely intentional in my getting attention, I have sometimes even "SHOUTED" because my left hand becomes numb after a lot of typing, due to hundreds of RPG fragments still lodged throughout the left side of my body,arm,hand and leg. I think in the future I will call it "HUE' SHOUTING" in honor of the place, where I still can hear shouting that really mattered, and that's the kind that still bothers me even today. Rest assured you are lucky that a few upper case letters are all you have to upset you re: shouting . I am not so lucky, nor were the 9 men K.I.A. [8 and some pieces] there in Hue', in my platoon that shouted until they could shout no more. I'll watch my typing a little closer, in the future. MEA CULPA!!! oops... there I go again, me and my piece of hand. Hope you can see the humor...I can! Warmest Regards Jerry
