Using CAPS does make posts harder to read for most people. I myself never respond to such posts--anyone who has been around any internet forums knows it's inconsiderate, and reveals the poster to be a noob. There's no reason to do it, and plenty of reasons to not do it.
ok I promise not to use all caps again lesson learned - drsteveExplorer

My response was not to the OPs question. I and many others find all caps posts difficult to read quickly, and it has been considered poor internet form for a long time. Sorry if that bothers you, but it's the truth.

Looks like you responded to this one. By the way, who decided it was "inconsiderate"? As long as it's in English what difference does it make? - DonNHExplorer

As in any etiquette related issue, it's a "majority rules" kind of thing.
For a quick one-liner, I don't normally have a problem with caps, but if I see an entire paragraph in caps I probably won't read it, as it is tough to follow. (Plus, people who type in all caps tend to also not use good punctuation and white space practices, further compounding the issue).
Go to just about any forum out there and post a paragraph in all caps - you'll see the same reaction you see here.

No you shouldn't use them for the reasons already mentioned.
Also, please turn off your caps-lock as it makes your post difficult to read and is considered yelling.
How can caps be compared to yelling? Did anyone hear it, I didn't?
His post was not hard to read either. Just ask him to not use caps and leave at that.
Well said !! I agree - TrailerheadExplorerTHANK YOU ALL SO MUCH....

Well said !! I agree - skipncharExplorerI doubt if you'll even FEEL you need slide room support if the rest of the RV is stabilized correctly. I join the majority in saying it's better NOT to use them.
