Most people consider words written in all capital letters to be 'yelled'.
So, with that in mind, consider this as a bit of an analogy....
You are climbing at the local gym/crag, and some random person walks up to you and yells in your face, "HEY, LETS GO CLIMB SOME CRAZY OVERHANGING ROUTES!!!".
Are you going to be inclinded to leave your current climbing partner to go climb with this new, unknown, and potentially mentally unstable, person? Are you even going to be inclinded to offer this person to join you and your partner?
Just something to think about....

Go do a Google search on "online forum etiquette". You will find hundereds, if not thousands, of results that all say the same thing:
In reply to: Posting in all capital letters is equivalant to yelling or speaking loudly.
Btw, note how I emphasized words, phrases, and even a whole sentence without ever putting an entire word in all capital letters. It can be done
:wink:
Edit, 'cause I can't spell, and was a bit too harsh.

1) If you are going to use a "tool", wouldn't you want to use it properly, in order to get the best results? If you want to squeeze an orange, you *could* put it on the couter-top and bang on top of it with the juicer until all juice squeezes out. Yes, you are using the tool for the job, and it will sort of work, but the results aren't going to be as good as if you had used the tool properly.
2) This is the obvious one. If you live a real life, one which you are "getting on with", then why are you still here posting?
I spend 60+ hours a week sitting in front of a computer, mostly for work. Posting here is just a bit of entertainment between the moments of actually productive activity.

yeah. let's be friends :D . Also. Sbaclimber; I can't tell where you EMPHASIZE words just as well without using caps. Maybe caps is yelling, so It's unarguably the best form of emphasis. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO YELL WITHOUT CAPS??? peace out my friends!
HAHA>also...slablizard's animation needs ALL CAPS for typing!!!
