Bold face is considered shouting… Wasn't that ALL CAPS?	[reply]

> Wasn't that ALL CAPS? Interesting question, I think all caps is just an older variant. Emails and usenet didn't have markup at the beginning. update Do you understand? DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Bold face is considered shouting in written communication. No, it is not, and to my knowledge has never been. Bold is used for emphasis. ALL CAPS is shouting.	[reply]

I don't think it's shouting. It's rather read the highlighted stuff in order to get an inlined management summary.	[reply]

"The boldfaced text in your first paragraph still holds true, at least I hope so :-)" Yes, it does. "Bold face is considered shouting…" No, I used bold letters just to make my text easier to read and stand out more. And I thought, if someone is in a hurry and just wants to read through quickly, then it's enough if they read the bold letters.	[reply]

ok!
