You guys know what I mean. If you get an email all in CAPS, then you know it was written by a novice. If you get a blog comment written in all CAPS, you know it was written by a novice or written to show some form of expression.
I just never get the reasoning behind the all caps writing style.
Is it that some people just have their caps locks key stuck? Is it that some people think you are more likely to read their email if it is all in caps? Is it because people like the style of all caps? What is it?

Indeed your insuferable notion that you'll stand out any more then a normal person when TYPING IN ALL CAPS is false. More often then not the person for whom the message was intended will be annoyed at your inability to think them intelligent enough to desifer a message of the normal standard. At least, thats my take.
