Wo!  Bro Eddy.  Stop the shouting!

Just so you know, and I know you're new around here, writing in all
capital letters is akin to shouting at the top of your lungs when 
writing messages in e-mail.

In the H-F netiquette document you received when you subscribed, it says
this:

>>>Does your post contain WORDS that are in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!!!

Caution should be used when posting in ALL CAPS because it is commonly 
equated to SHOUTING very loudly. Many folks can be offended by CONSTANT 
or ABUSE OF CAPITAL LETTERS in a MESSAGE because of its STRONG EMPHASIS.

If you want to emphasize words in a sentence. Maybe you should try using 
double-quote marks "like this" to draw attention, or maybe asterisks *like 
this*, or possibly even underscores _like this_.

There are times when writing in a CAPITAL LETTERS may be appropriate. If 
you need to find out how it would sound, write the message with the choice
words in CAPITAL LETTERS. Then read it back to yourself. If the words or 
phase that is EMPHASIZED by the capital letters sounds a little peculiar 
when you repeat the CAPITALIZATION at a "shouted level" in your mind, it's 
probably too strong of an emphasis and you need to choose a different way 
to *emphasize* words without _shouting_ at the other saints.<<<

O.k.?

Don't worry, we're not angry at ya or anythin'.
Just trying to put a bandage on my ear drums from
the high-volume shouting.
