Found this article from one of the people I follow on Twitter. The Telegraph ran a story about an office worker fired for using all caps in e-mail. Vicki Walker, a New Zealand native, was let go from a job at a health care company after complaints from co-workers about “shouty” and confrontational e-mails, including [...] A recent NPR story tells the story behind Richard Leroy Walters and his legacy.
