Dave - NMaceExplorerEasy guys, you all are a bit touchy. I meant to ask if using all caps was a written rule of this forum, and I get a link to Wikipedia! I promise to never use all caps.
Please let's get back on topic. - ol_Bombero-JCExplorer

Are those rules written or just your idea of polite discourse? I agree about the jargon, but do not think caps are shouting, I think someone made that up and others agree without thought. It is just easier for those that are not typists to use the same case. Some great authors have been published in all lower case (Cormac McCarthy), are they whispering?
CAPS ARE SHOUTING.
btw - try this *impolite* "discourse" in a whisper......pound sand!
~ - TXicemanExplorer IINMace, general internet protocol and politeness show that CAPS are taken as shouting and rude on the net. You must not have much net experience.
Some CAPS can be used to highlight a point. But is much more difficult to read in a hurry.
But sometimes it is just being lazy and not wanting to properly capitalize sentences.
But e e cummings became famous for his writing and he used no capitals.

Ken - Me_AgainExplorer IIIAll caps is difficult for us dyslexics to READ. So give us a BREAK! Chris
- sdetweilExplorerGenerally for at least the last 15 yrs I know of, caps have been used for emphasis. So all caps would be yelling.
