And since we drifted off the original topic, I will comment on the act of using bold face. What I am about to say may be familiar to you Mainframe.

Bold face in typed text does not indicate that a person is "shouting". Bold face is used to draw one's attention to the subject matter. The same is true for using italics or any other typeface. The common method used when one wants to shout is to put the text in all caps, often times followed by one or more exclamation points. An exclamation point by itself is also considered shouting.
