NOT ALL OF US VIEW THE USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS AS YELLING!
That is more of a chat/Text/Twitter thing.
WE HAVE USED CAPITAL LETTERS FOR EMPHASIS FOR AS MANY YEARS AS I CAN
REMEMBER.
(and that's a very long time - I have had an email account since 1983).
I still use capital letters for emphasis, especially here where we can't use
BOLD TEXT to emphasize text.

>> I just got back from the New England ARRL convention at Boxboro, Mass.
>>
>> Ten-Tec was conspicuously absent. With no dealers selling their products,
>> minimal QST advertising and little attendance at larger Hamfests, how
>> does
>> Ten-Tec expect to continue to be a factor in the Amateur Equipment
>> marketplace?
>>
>> Their QST ads have shrunk from being a full page ad near the beginning of
>> the magazine to a quarter page ad (at best) buried near the end of the
>> magazine.
>>
>> Meanwhile, Elecraft and Flex Radio were conducting forums and had large
>> displays. An Elecraft KX3 and a Flexradio 1500 were among the prizes
>> given
>> away. Of course, the factory displays from YaeComWood were large and

>>
>> The DX dinner and the DXpedition presentation increased a lot of talk

>> about Ten-Tec and its products it was in the past tense with words like
>> "Elecraft is eating them for lunch".
>>
>> Even if Ten-Tec is hurting financially (I don't know that as a fact but

>> their
>> marketing and visibility or they won't be long for the Amateur Radio
>> marketplace.
>>
>> By the way, this convention had its best year in over a decade with an
>> attendance that exceeded 2,000. With the number of ham license holders
>> near an all time high of over 700,000, the rumors of the death of our
>> hobby are greatly exaggerated.
