In my expierience on this board, if someone posts a subject in all caps they will invariably get more response regarding their capitializtion than their actual question.
All the more reason not to do it eh? It's simply annoying to the eye.. rudeness doesn't have anything to do with it since the people generally are just yelling things like HELP, not FUCK YOU!.. Think of it this way.. You walk into class and calmly say to your professor, "I don't understand this, would you mind explaining it to me?" Now imagine you run into your lecture hall, screaming at the top of your lungs HEEEEEEELP ME!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOO CONFUSED!!!!!!!".. Which is more likely to get the professor to help you rather then kick you out the door?
