Something else about ALL CAPS vs. Not All Caps...

ALL-CAP reading slows down your reading of material by 18%. I learned that factoid when I was a young journalist. That's why you see newspaper headlines in Upper and Lower case (or, in some cases...all lower case) to make it easier and faster for readers to scan the headlines. Why punish people with ALL CAPS?

Call it the 18% rule.
