I dOn'T gEt It

or; why the capitals? Why oh why?!?!?!?

from JoeUser Forums
Just a thought.
I have a site over on myspace (okay, so you could call me a blogging whore, I have a blog here - by far my favorite, because of the sense of community that you get at JU - I have two blogs at blogger, an MSN space, and another account at myspace. Why? Because different people I know use different ones. I sure get annoyed by myspace, but all my compatriots from work blog there - thus, they make me, too, if I want to be in the loop.
But here's my gripe - why the lowercase-capital alternation? YoU'lL sEe EnTiRe BlOgS wRiTtEn LiKe ThIs . . . and my question is - why? Do any of y'all have any idea how long it took me to write that stupid sentence? A long time.
What is the allure of writing like an imbecile, making your blog almost unintelligible (as if their thoughts were cogent in the first place) and unreadable?

And hey, i just had a thought, maybe the reason for the random capitals (at least for screen names) is that a person wanted a particular screen name, let's say super_girl05, but that particular one was already taken. So they adjust the capital letter to sUpER_giRL05 and bang, they have the screen name. Perhaps that's how this craze started.

I think you may have hit it on the head. But I wish it could've just stayed there.
