And all using the blasted small i ! This fashion seems to have suddenly
started and is spreading like wildfire. It isn't PDAs because these posters
use caps for new sentences. It just makes it so much harder to read IMHO.

Which is understandable when you consider the key input of the average phone
and the need to keep the message short. However, when presented with a
standard keyboard, using SMS language is inexcusable.
There are really good reasons why we should use proper capitalisation and
punctuation: it's mainly because the eye is trained to read the shape of
words rather than individual letter shapes. Once that pattern is broken by
using all Caps or unpunctuated lowercase text or long underscores, reading
becomes tiring. So although this is acceptable for the odd SMS message,
reading many posts on a NG is not helped by poor writing.

Could not have put it better myself. The shape is really the thing. I find
that as soon as I start reading a missive from one of these 'i' characters I
just turn off and go to the next one.
