Why the well people associate caps to something loud?... they surely dont emit any sound, or at least is not that the intention when you see the size of letters "Comment editor" in this site... surely is not an outburst of LWN editors temper.

It's normal for English typesetting to make the title different, in that form or another, from the text. Using caps for an entire paragraph is AGAINST the typesetting rules. When one breaks a rule, there should be a reason. Accentuating an important word in a phrase is a well-accepted rhetoric approach. But accentuating ALL words is just a yell. So that's what your post looked to me (and I bet to many others) - a loud scream.
Notes from the SCO conference call Posted Jun 9, 2003 22:47 UTC (Mon) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] Nevertheless (for the last time), i'm typing this in a fonetic and not in a idiographic language, caps dont "mean" a more or less audible sound, but a more "IMPORTANT" letter, word or sentence specialy used at the begining of first names. Although the association is understable, bigger letters are more "adquate" to represent a yell than caps,... check a languages prof!... and dont think i dont repect rules.
