    I use lots of exclamation marks because I couldn't work out how to get the smilies in. :confused:

    Now I know I can stop getting excited with my exclamation marks :D

    I got annoyed about this after reading several posts by a particular poster who used an exclamation mark constantly and was quite harsh in a reply to another member. There was no need for a reply like that, the op had only asked a question. I thought it wasn't very nice .

    I agree ,you were right to be annoyed ,there is no need for rudeness and to me that's what this particular person was being ..................shame on them.

    Thank you trafalgar, I was thinking that maybe I was the only one who thought that manners cost nothing and that people should not think they can post in any way they want.

    I do think I'm in the minority though, maybe I need to lighten up as it seems that this kind of thing doesn't bother most people around here.

    So, just for elvis_bloggs, IvanOpinion and co....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think what you meant to say was '...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' not '....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' which in the north of the country could have been translated as '..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' which is very rude in deed (well it made me blush). :D

    Sorry! I spent ages as well, trying to word that carefully so as not to offend!

    I suppose I should have said !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in stead of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

    Forgive me? ;)
