I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE TYPE LIKE THIS! Its hard to read and anyone that knows anything about internet etiquette should know that typing in all caps is considered shouting and generally rude. Don't believe me, check it out.

Sometimes you just HAVE to make a point though, and because the internet is only monoperspective people use whatever means they can at conveying a point. But I agree that peopl WHO ALWAYS TALK IN CAPS FOR NO REASON are simply annoying.

It bothers me so much when people do that. It's rude and just shows that the person doing the typing probably has an obnoxious personality. I think sometimes they're trying to create a sense of urgency "BUY NOW!!!! BEFORE THIS AMAZING PRODUCT RUNS OUT AND YOU ARE LEFT WITH NOTHING BUT REGRET FOR MISSING A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY IN THIS UP AND COMING BUSINESS VENTURE WHERE WE SCAM YOU OUT OF ALL YOUR MONEY! IT'S THE BEST!!!!" But really... they just come off as obnoxious, rude and annoy everyone.

I agree, but I do have to admit, at my last job, the program I worked in required all caps and I would catch myself sending emails like that....I'd fix it if it was a short email, but put a footnote if it wasn't apologizing for it. Some people just don't know enough about the internet though I think. This is all still so new to some people.
