Have you Noticed That Some People Tend to Type Messages in Caps Like This? Why is That?
To my mind what is much worse IS WHEN THEY TYPE LIKE THIS ..all screaming, psycho capital letters ..
Anyway, re your OP and original question asked, no I can't say that I have noticed such a thing.
Moreover, if anyone was fool enough to write to me in such terms, they would rapidly receive a response that would leave my views on such matters quite clear.

Indeed. If these shouty people are trying to be heard, they're going about it the wrong way! BLOCK CAPITALS are actually harder to read, because they lack the ascenders and descenders that give words their unique visual shape.
Humans don't read words letter-by-letter but, by and large, recognize words by their unique shape. So by making EVERY WORD SHAPE A BORING AND UNDISTINGUISHED RECTANGLE, THE SHOUTY ONES ARE INADVERTENTLY MAKING THEIR MESSAGE harder TO HEAR.
(See, you slowed down to read that last bit)
I'm sure you have a diversity of reasons for using "Times New Roman". Others enjoy using "CAPS", "UNDERLINES" and other stuff, with the same expectation of tolerance, so lets ALL ENJOY IT!!! (I'm gay & you're sophisticated!!!! )

Who can remember the fictional character that typed in all lower case because it was a mouse or something - and he or she stepped onto the typewriter keys?

actually, some forum software programs can be set so that if someone types in all caps that the message will be automatically displayed so that only the first letter of each word is in caps.

In the german language all nouns are capitalized. I sometimes capitalize and misspell by accident and I am to lazy to correct it. I also refuse to put importance on correct spelling, since it is an arbitrary invention anyway.
In Goethe's times kids were encouraged to spell the same word in many different ways. I also noticed that the biggest morons tend to be the proudest of their awesome spelling abilities.
