Actually nobody writes in caps. There's an elite team of hackers that goes around randomly converting posts to caps as it helps focus the paranormal forces that dwell in the Internet. They tend to gather around concentrations of all caps postings.

Possible reasons :
- I'm FUCKING ANGRY
- to make sure that I GET HEARD WHEN EXPOSING MY POINT
- especially when I expose my point TO A OBVIOUSLY RETARDED PERSON
- I'm SCARED
- I'm stating something UTTERLY IMPORTANT
- I can add sharp symbols to emphasize the illegality of ### TELEPATHY, TELEKINESIS AND TELEPORTATION ###
- Well, I'm bored, so why not use that lonely Caps Lock key ? I'd be able to enjoy the fact that every typed letters are caps without having to press the Shift key.
- MY KEYBOARD HAS A PROBLEM SORRY

Question :
Why everyone is always typing digits and numbers in caps ?

No, that's just the French who need to shift to get digits and numbers.

I remember a few years ago I saw this person toggle the caps lock key to write anything in upper case. It was like the shift key didn't make sense to them, they only used it for symbols. fucking weird.

..or they post from ICL1900 machine, which has 6-bit encoding and caps only.

sigflup: that's not weird. I once knew a guy that held the mouse backwards. Like with the buttons at the bottom, so that everything is reversed. THAT was fucking weird!

psonice: ok. just tried to turn my mouse backwards, while eating dinner.. I nearly got choked in the food because this is so funny. Will try doing it a few days for the fun of it.

willbe and andr00 summed it up pretty well. But I might add...

possible reasons:
-I'M RESPONDING TO A MESSAGE WHICH WAS ALSO WRITTEN IN CAPS!
-CUZ IM A TARD (because it is I who am an obviously retarded person)
my keyboard only has capital letters, but none of them work. whats that all about
