I've been involved in various cybercommunities (email lists,
USENET groups, web boards, etc.) for over 17 years. Back when
I first got connected in 1985 the convention of all caps being
interpreted as shouting was well established.
I understand the need to be sensitive to people of differing abilities,
but I'm one of the many that find all caps *harder* to read than
mixed-case.
Here's a good primer on netiquette:

Note section 2.1.1 :-)
Obligatory iris comment: our long but rather spotty bloom season
is winding down, but BLACK HOPE opened yesterday and looks lovely.
It's my favorite Austin.
