If all of us, without exception, swear to each other and sign here in blood (virtually, of course) that we will never, ever, under any circumstance, buy anything from those who post in all caps, maybe they'll stop.
This will require commitment and sacrifice. When the ones who post in all caps begin to get desperate they will begin to lower their prices and we'll be sorely tempted to abandon the cause, But we can't give in, we have to be strong and see this through together. You're either with us or you're against us.
If you suspect that a post is going to be in all caps, don't even click on the headline. If you can't help reading the ad and the price seems too good to pass up, console yourself in the thought that you're making a small financial sacrifice so that someday there will be a world where your children won't have to read posts in all caps.
I agree that the best use of caps is when you are trying to make a point. A better way to increase text size is to go to the "View" tab on your Mozilla or Firefox and go to "Text Zoom". Then you can customize it to your heart's content.
You say you don't use Mozilla or Firefox? What are you waiting for? This isn't the only functionality you're missing out on.
It seems that no matter what anyone posts at this site some people either take it out of context or are contentious with it. Davt for your edification, I simply e-mailed and asked a person why they posted in all caps, hence my response. Thought people may be interested is all.
