Your all caps typing could be considered rude, unless you are actually meaning to shout those words.

- WaltDaniels 14y agoTouché. Caps were just meant to share my frustration ... no yelling.
- prawks 14y agoItalics tend to come across as much less imposing to readers, I use them heavily now.
- lelandbatey 14y agoItalics and other text modifiers are essential for clear communication using only text. However, as a new user myself I was frustrated by a lack of documentation for comment markup. As far as I can tell, the only text modifier for HN comments is italics which are specified by surrounding a word with asterisks. I wish there where more text modifiers (like bold and underline), as well as some kind of documentation for them.
