If I were to take you literally, my entire post would have to be in all caps for it to even make any sense what-so-ever. *ALL* caps in a paragraph means shouting. Partial use for key words is the same as bold text (i.e. emphasizing words louder the same way you would when talking or using bold text). Yes, there are markup text options on this message board (you have no other choice but perhaps an asterisk (*) when there is no markup available). Even so, markup text is clumsy and slow compared to typing without it, especially when you you're used to typing nearly as fast as you can think of what you want to say (i.e. 100+ WPM). Picking up the mouse (and stop typing entirely) is even slower. I suppose if you type at 10wpm it wouldn't matter much. What amazes me is that someone would bother to stop and reply to a message over the capitalization of a few key words for emphasis to begin with.
