Actually Thom, this is exactly what I (and probably many other readers) 
have done when I come across messages written in all caps. It is simply 
too annoying to bother reading on.  

Doesn't it seem silly to be ignored simply because you are unwilling 
communicate in a more socially acceptable way? 

Like it or not, when messages are sent in all caps or with many typos for 
example, it lessens the value of that message in the eyes of the reader. 
Sure, it's a free country and you can speak in any manner you wish-just 
don't be surprised when someone calls you on it. 

Not a flame-just Netiquette 101,
