I AM SO GLAD YOU BROUGHT THIS TO MY ATTENTION.
I OFTEN WONDERED WHY SOME OF MY E-MAIL WAS ALL CAPS.
I USED TO THINK IT WAS FOR CONVENIENCE PURPOSES, BUT NOW THAT YOU HAVE 
EXPLAINED TO ME THAT ALL CAPS IS REGARDED AS SHOUTING IT EXPLAINS 
EVERYTHING.
ALL MY FRIENDS KNOW I HAVE A SERVICE CONNECTED HIGH FREQUENCY HEARING 
LOSS  ( TO MANY BAZOOKA ROUNDS
IN VIET NAM), SO TO CONVEY THEIR MESSAGE LOUDER THEY USE ALL 
CAPS....VERY INGENIOUS...I CAN BUY THAT.
LET'S SEE NOW, WE HAVE MANY SENIORS AND FORMER MILITARY MEMBERS WHO MOST 
LIKELY ALSO EXPERIENCE SOME FORM OF HEARING LOSS THEREFORE I THINK, FROM 
NOW ON, I WILL SEND MY POSTS IN A SHOUT FORMAT (ALL CAPS) TO ACCOMMODATE 
OUR HEARING IMPAIRED MEMBERS.

CAN  EVERYBODY  HEAR  ME  BETTER  NOW?

JMT REINHOLD
THE SOFT SPOKEN ONE

They put you through training seminars and coach you on all sorts of things including what's acceptable in how you speak, write, and what is okay and not okay to say and do.
