    People associate small or large ideas or objects with other small or large ideas or objects. So smaller letters like the ones I am using cause readers to subconsciously think the words in a standard, conversational volume. On the other hand, when using all caps like you are, people think the words in a large volume. It is also because people think you are trying to get their attention as all caps breaks from the normality of using standard letters, which is directly comparable to yelling to get someone's attention as it is distinct in a mass of normal volumes.

    On the Internet, to write all in capitals denotes that one is shouting.
