Thanks, that gives me something to think about. I'm still of the opinion though, that there's very little or no difference in readablility, specially when talking about short, technical texts like most list contributions are.
For better readability it seems far more important to me to break long texts into sensible paragraphs and use punctuation properly. My perception may be influenced by decades of not using caps, of course, and I'll ask others (who have to read what I write) about their experience & opinion.
Much much more readable with the caps in place. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
