That's the distance you'd have to move your pinky in order to not sound like an idiot. I know the burden of pressing shift to capitalize is a great one, but c'mon goonies, you can do better than that. I used to type web posts in caps like yours, but then I decided that I didn't want a job mixing concrete.
The following is a partial list of posters at DD.com who think by writing in all caps it's like yelling. Add these people to your list of people most likely to think the movie was better than the book. I am considering compiling list of people who use all BOLD type, large type, and don't use paragraphs.

Hi Art. As I'm sure you know, writing in all caps is a breach of internet etiquette in a rational discussion. It is actually considered the equivalent of yelling.
Having said that, I just notice that I said "rational discussion." That in and of itself disqualifies DD.com, doesn't it?
How come I am not at the top of that list? i loove my etceteras and dashes ... I think I do it because I type the way I think, and not punctuating the way I would if I was actually saying these words. The screaming CAPS have always irritated me.
Now, granma - she needs to be added to that list for ... well ... everything

Well I am one who has no excuse ... I guess like Girl ... I type as I think ... and I just love my little dots ... I think these are the things that make one unique ... I am sorry if it irritates ... but could you do me a favor ... if I am added to a list ... please don't put me on one with the DD'ers ... just kidding Art ... if you must put me on a list ... well I guess I will understand.
