Good bye, CAPS Lock?

There’s a movement (we use the term loosely) to abolish the CAPS Lock key from keyboards, as if it were a plague. ‘Pieterh’ writes on Slashdot: “How am I going to explain to my kids why some of the most valuable keyboard real estate is squatted by a large, useless key that above all you must not press!” If you have similar ill-will toward the CAPS Lock key, you can find like-minded folks here. While all-caps e-mails are ANNOYING, we’d rather focus the world’s efforts on a bigger problem: The ‘Reply-to-All’ button found in corporate e-mail clients.
