Today's pet peeve - people who post all in caps
Reading in some of the other forums. Every once in a while, there is a poster who posts all in caps. To me, that's yelling. I have a splitting headache this morning and, oddly, when I come to those posts, it hurts worse. It's like an assault on my eyes.

What posting habits drive you nuts?

14. Serious Response
I often use all caps because of my eyesight. I've gotten beat up before about it so I have limited my useage. However, when I use all caps, I'm not yelling. I think it is easy to know by reading a post if someone is shouting or not.
