Don't tell me you don't know how rude it is, and don't tell me you've got too much arthritis for the extra work to press Shift Once in a darned while!

It's already against the Yahoo rules to post in all caps, so if you feel like it, you can report people who post questions or answers in all caps.
I don't think people with bad vision still need to use caps; I remember a long time ago several people on forums and mailing lists typed all caps because of this, but haven't seen it for years. And indeed both my Firefox and MSIE have a simple-to-use option to enlarge the text. A larger font in lower case is much easier to read than all caps, because capital letters are more alike.

I think it's a good idea to kill off all of the caps, at least all of the ones that are put on the head backwards

Well, yes, it is annoying.
However, I have heard from some people with low vision that this is the only way they can read what is on their computer. So those folks get a bye from me.
Everyone else, you have NO excuse, and it is shouting! So no soup for you! :o)

Lol I never understood the problem with caps or how letters could offend someone....but if you feel we must kill them can't we just rough them up a little?

Who cares. My eyeballs won't pop out from seeing the words in CAPS. What's the difference.

Isn't there something more thoughtful to gripe about? I mean, why should you really care? It's quite a minor issue.

Yes, that would be a good thing.
