A Few of My Internet Etiquette Rules. (Not posting this to start anything, just thought I would share. Love and Hugs!)
1. Never type a group of words or a phrase in upper case. It makes it look like your shouting.
2. Always speak to others the way you would expect yourself to be spoken to in the physical world.
3. Make use of emoticons like :) and :( which help you to get your message across.
4. Patience is the key on the web these days. If you are upset or angry about something, try and wait a while before writing another message.
5. If someone bullies you or writes something bad to you, don’t insult them back. Why? Cause it just doesn’t work! Simply ignoring them or blocking their messages does the trick.
6. Never forget to greet people politely in every message you send. It really makes you seem like a friendly person.
7. Remember that whenever anything is written online, the reader only has words to work with; no facial expressions, no tone of voice, and no body language. It's easy for miscommunication to occur, so if you're unsure of someone's meaning, ask for clarification.
8. Just be yourself. :)

Many times it seems the anonymity of the internet removes the societal rules most would have in person. This is a good list of rules.
I have some instructions that may help those struggling with vision problems.
[Not shouting just all caps for those who need help seeing the post]
IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 7 HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO HELP MAKE THINGS EASIER TO SEE:
CLICK THE WINDOWS CIRCLE (USUALLY AT THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE SCREEN)
JUST BEGIN TO TYPE “EASE OF ACCESS”
SELECT “EASE OF ACCESS” FROM THE LIST THAT SHOWS ABOVE
THE TOOLS IN EASE OF ACCESS ARE THERE TO HELP PEOPLE WITH VISION PROBLEMS -- LIKE THE MAGNIFIER, THE NARRATOR, AND HIGH CONTRAST OR IT MAY BE EASIER TO SELECT “MAKE THE COMPUTER EASIER TO SEE”. FOR MORE SERIOUS VISION PROBLEMS SELECT “OPTIMIZE FOR BLINDNESS”
THERE ARE OTHER TOOLS THERE AS WELL.
For those with other Windows operating systems like Vista or XP if you need instructions, let me know and I will post them for you too.
Flowers for all!
As far as reading vision & capitals go....
Here's the funny thing., I actually find it harder to read when people type in captials.
I prefer to enlarge the page as mentioned below, so much easier to read.

The others I totally agree with it is so true.
