Actually, while putting a single word in caps is acceptable for emphasis, typing messages in all caps has been defined as "shouting" pretty much back to the early days of the net......

Dear List, A lot of people use caps because of a vision problem not knowing ( something I just found out myself ) that they can change their letters to look larger for them but not to other. Mrs Piggy, can you explain it better?
