You're welcome! You are absolutely right about using lower case.
I'd copied/pasted from the 'rules' and didn't appreciate the error until I saw me shouting in the
actual post. My bad as you say in the States! <wink!>
Microsoft also have their own 'Rules of Conduct' here:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/conduct/default.mspx
Appropriate Language: The purpose of our communities is to exchange technical information and
expertise about Microsoft products. Please avoid personal attacks, slurs, and profanity in your
interactions.
Relevance to Topics: Please make sure that your postings in newsgroups and chats are relevant to the
subject at hand. It is normal for some topics to drift from the stated subject. However, to ensure
maximum benefit for everyone, we encourage you to keep your postings as close to the subject as
possible.
Advertising/Solicitation: These communities were created as a forum for providing peer-to-peer
assistance related to using Microsoft products and services. We ask that you refrain from posting
unsolicited advertisements that do not pertain directly to the intended use and purpose of the
newsgroup or chat.
Confidentiality: Please keep in mind that our communities are public spaces, so don't post anything
that you don't want the world to see. Credit card numbers, product keys, and other confidential
information, including anything covered under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), should not be posted
to a newsgroup, chat, or other community.
