It bothers me less if the poster is actually "screaming," as you have described, than if they use caps for no reason.
What I especially don't understand is someone posting an entire message in caps. It makes it hard to read and is considered poor etiquette on the internet.
As IsoM said, posters who overuse caps can be reminded, which I was considering doing if the caps-posting had continued on PB.

> Maybe the poster feels the necessity to scream and isn't that what caps are for???? It's an expression of frustration and anger. If used for those purposes, I see no harm. JMO!!!
