[obol] Obol: put bird names in ALL CAPS--Please thank you please

[David Bailey]

Oregon birders and friends,

Among veteran OBOL  it is known that it is an expectation of our on-line 
community to write bird names in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS within the prose of 
our emails.

I request that those of you who have not been doing this, kindly please 
do in your following submissions. Since we are an informally and 
internally moderated list, the local netiquette of our group is often 
lost on those new, so it is understandable that some may have not known. 
The reason for putting bird names in all capital letters is that it 
makes skimming the emails faster for those of us who get lots of email 
and belong to lots of listserves.

Otherwise, please put your birds noted in a list at the beginning of 
your post.

Thank you and thank you.
 
Most respectfully and sincerely,

David


ps: I undoubtedly will neglect to meet this expectation in the future at 
some point, to err is human.
