Todd,
1. The whole thing about typing in caps has a practical source. Because we learn to read in first grade in normal lower and upper case (remember "Dick and Jane"?), reading all upper case takes people longer. That's why people prefer regular type.
2. No one on this forum worries about spelling very much. We do tease each other a little about it, but it is really not an issue. No one cares a lot.
Welcome!
Dick
Thanks Todd for the background info!
And NO....I'm not a meanie....... HA HA
Hello Todd! Welcome to the friendly fray. I'm still pretty new here myself having only been able to bless these guys with my presence for about a year and a half.
You won't find a more knowledgeable group of T people, and even better, a group of folks who willingly and generously share that knowledge with us Model T newbies.
With your apparent talents, be prepared. Some of these guys may be asking you questions...grin..
Danial
Todd,
Maybe if you save a Model T part here and there, you'll soon have enough to build a car, or a pickup, or TT truck.
WELCOME! (a great big loud welcome)
