on capitalization and typing speed

both joel and gus have commented in their blogs at one time or another that they wish i would use capital letters in my posts. ok. here's why i don't. it's not a real good reason, but it works for me. when i first started banging around the web, i used a DAMNED SLOW modem to communicate with (anyone remember 9.6K modems?). when popping into bulletin boards, and message boards, the only way to get a word in was to type as fast as you could, hit send, and hope the message loaded before there were so many messages that yours scrolled right off the screen before anyone could read it. i found that my normal 60 word per minute typing speed cranked up to around 70-75 wpm if i followed the lead of many posters, and quit using capital letters. that and all of the stupid lol and roflmao acronyms. i've since weaned myself off of those, but the caps thing is still part of my web personae. however, noting that we are now in the broadband era, and i can take as long to type as i want, since the posts won't scroll away like they used to, i shall endeavor to utilize at least one Capital letter per post, hoping this will in some way make my screeds a little more readable. perhaps i'll even insert mUltiple caps at some point.
