I don't know who in the Internet world decided using all caps was yelling -- but it's not, in and of itself. If it is being done for emphasis it's obvious.
 
My mom had arthritis and the skipping that extra step of hitting the shift key to capitalize made it a little easier for her to type (though after getting scolded about it from other people she switched to writing in all lower case). I'm sure that's the case with many on the TM list, though as Pam said, some felt all caps were easier to read. Using a bigger font helps with that.
 
I don't see why it can't be one of those "live and let live" things. (Shrug.)
