"1. Enter your question
Please do not use ALL CAPS. It's rude."
When I was typing in my question in all capital letters, Yahoo! gave me a manners lecture!
This further proves my theory that Yahoo! Answers is a living being with feelings, emotions, & a poor understanding of its own constitution [TOS].

Using all capital letters is generally considered shouting, and shouting constantly is considered rude.
Additionally, in spite of the letters being larger, they're harder to read, because capital letters are more alike than lowercase letters.
This isn't a Yahoo only rule, almost every board or forum I've ever posted on frowns on using all caps.

Yes. You also get told off if you use a question mark in an answer!
