Re: Yet more radios needed

["Dave Proctor" <daproc@spambait.ozemail.com.au>]

See that button just to the left of the "A" key? The one with "Caps Lock" on
it? Can you press it please before you next post? It makes your post so much
easier to read. Since a totally capitalised post is a pain on the eyes, I
have not read it, so I have absolutely no idea if what you posted was worth
reading or not. Others will think the same. Do yourself a favour and poist
in a way that people will read it.

Thank you.
