What's Up With Some People Capitalizing Every Word In A Sentence? :D

I've noticed this in some posts, and I'm wondering if it has a special meaning in cyberculture, similar to the way using ALL CAPS signifies shouting. I have to admit it's slightly annoying to read and very annoying to type! :p

Hi Orange,
I capitalize letters only when I am trying to emphasize that particular word, like this for example: You are VERY right about that! :)

They imagine it to be like we would imagine italicizing... I'm convinced that most of them just don't know they're "shouting".

When I see all caps, I immediately think "newbie to e-communicating".

Heck, I should probably be kindly letting them know that it's impolite... but frequently don't.

PS to Cgirl: Me TOO :D

Rickj-
Or they forgot that their caps lock is on :)

I think you guys misunderstood me. I didn't mean ALL CAPS... I use that myself to emphasize things. I meant when people capitalize the first letter of each word in a sentence. Like this:

I Have A Problem With My Boyfriend Aand I Hope You Guys Can Help Me Out.

Hehehehehe It Seems That There Is A Setting Within This Site Where By A Complete Answer Typed In All Caps Comes Out Having The First Letter Capitalised And The Rest As They Should Be.

The sentence above was written with the caps lock on ;)
This ONLY works if the WHOLE post is typed in CAPS.
One small letter and it all falls apart.

Hmm...I guess maybe they just have a lot of time on their hands then, that's the only explanation I can give for that one!
