I agree, words in all capitals are harder to read, than words with the correct case. It annoys me when I see people write in all capitals. On the other hand if I start a program and see a few lines all in capitals, it would make me think its important, so I am more likely to put some effort into reading it, rather than skipping over it. I agree, important information is often lost when you cant see the facial expressions of people.
