Why do people get so upset if someone leaves the CAPS ON when they are posting . I know it's supposed to represent that the person is SHOUTING. But, it really doesn't bother me at all . Makes it easier to read without my glasses. LOL. kirby :D

I'm with you, exept that I can't even see caps without glasses! 8)

EDIT: As far as shouting goes, it's not irritating--it's mandatory. Since my nose quit working the way it should I tell people: "I don't see so good, hear so good or smell so good. :D

I guess it bothers us, contact lens wearers...
Seriously though, they're hard to read with all the letters jumping out at you. Myself, I don't read them.

I wear glasses, and ALL CAPS kinf of annoys me. More of an optical illusion thing when the person types a whole paragraph. It seem like all the words just string together. It also reminds me of when I was in the service. ALL the logs were in CAPS, all orders were in CAPS, PM cards were in CAPS... Just about ANYTHING written was in CAPS.
BUT LIKE I WAS SAYING, WHEN A PERSON TYPES IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. EVERYTHING JUST STARTS TO RUN TOGETHER.ESPECIALLYIFTHEY'RETHETYPEOFPEOPLETHATDON'TLIKETOUSETHESPACEBAR.

I left my scope caps on once, now where did that varment go and why did it get so dark so fast hehehe. Ed

Yeah, Ed, but I'll bet you still brought home some dinner, even when you couldn't see it ;~)
I've never found it particularly annoying, or really associated it with shouting, other than seeing that it's the normal reaction on many forums and listservs when a message has all caps. Me, I was raised to write good, so I tries to make my English and writin' some kinda readable mostly-- LOL!!! But that's probably the only reason I haven't used the CAPS lock by accident even.
