There's actually at least one really good reason to avoid writing in
all caps--it makes your message harder to read.

This is not just my personal opinion, it has to do with the way our
eyes and brains work. It happens that lowercase characters are more
variable in their appearance, and so easier for us to differentiate
quickly.

Interestingly (to me), the one person in the programming department
where I work who insists on using all caps for his messages also
shouts all the time.
