...it was only geeks and nerds sending messages over the 'net typing in caps was considered shouting. These days, with e-mail's use by everyone and their grandmother, typing all caps is only rude because it tends to be harder to read. A large portion of users have never heard of the all caps rule. Even if they have, they don't buy into it. The all caps rule is an anachronism.
