>It appears that those who are posting are not following the proper
>genealogical format of capitalization of SURNAMES. All SURNAMES should be
>capitalized at all times. It makes it much easier for everyone, when you
>have a lot of email, you can scan it quickly and see if it pertains to
>your research - or if you can help the person who needs to find a certain
>SURNAME connection. Oftentimes, researchers/genealogists will just delete
>the email without taking time to scan it when it is not in the proper format.
>Many lists do not allow postings if not done in the proper format.
>Not a criticism, just a help. Many newbies do not know this rule, and
>some of the oldies just do not adhere.
>I once deleted, and then went back and was able to provide the missing
>link for someone. So, the proper format can be important.
>Thanks.
