I love the lower-casing explanation. How then to make sense of the former executive of an extremely large Internet company who wrote long-winded emails all in lower-case letters. ;-) I suspect that in his case, it was a different twist: "See how cool I am? I can bloviate without ever hitting the Shift key." Tim,

I had no clue I was shouting at people when my caps key was on and I was new to email. I learned quite quickly. LOL - I figured that one was "lotsa luck, sucker" - glad to know I was supposed to be laughing out loud. This morning you made me laugh and that starts the day off on the right track. Now, if the Tigers can just whoop the Tarheels it will be perfect! And really, thank you. I am laughing my way to the emailbox.

I agree completely with the lowercase/typo'd/ungrammatical message = "I am too busy and important to waste my time communicating. You figure it out." That may not be the intent (I sure hope not), but it does sometimes come across that way. Great post.
