As a dork with extensive linguistics knowledge, I find it interesting that people would find that much emotion in a web page made of questions and answers.

Does all-caps really display that much emotion, and do people really have such a visceral reaction to that emotion?

Very interesting.

Personally, I find all-caps kind of a pain while reading Greek, because it's harder to read. Do you think people have any issues with reading it, leading to extra frustration? Do the symbols have some kind of subliminal significance or something?

So many questions. So little linguistic research.
