This thread really doesn't belong here, but since it is...

The ALL CAPS thing is really bad. It's bad manners. It'd be like me sitting across the table from you in a quiet restuarant and you yelling a conversation at me. It's plain annoying and it's considered bad form on the net.

A lot of people don't capitalize their letters just because they don't want to stretch for the shift key. For most people, not doing the Shifts speeds up typing a little. And on the net, most people don't care about the little gramatical things, so it's generally considered acceptable.

All caps is also more difficult to read.
