Does capitalization of username indicate something about the personality?

I am an egomaniac because I have two caps in my name.

What about HSC, he's got three!!!!

Are men more likely to capitalize?

Are users who use all lower case more likely to have more humble/diminutive personalities?

There is something about a capital letter that seems important, no?

I'm just very... precise in my communications when it comes to "important" and long-lasting things... like first impressions, and avatars of my identity.

Maybe caps have something to do with Caps?

Maybe not
Maybe it's just because we learned in school to capitalize names.....

Just the other day I was wondering why I didn't capitalize my name. Any time I write out my name I do .. maybe I was in a hurry to sign up and post for the first time!?!? I honestly dont know why I didn't.

I'd say most people slap down the first suitable concept or object at hand for want of a handle to get in and get posting. Say, bottleoftango, username or blue moon.

Naming the kids and the cat was hard enough work, I'm not going to sweat it just to come and discuss whether or not Librans are trustworthy.

Names usually get capitalised. Concepts don't. Correct me if I am wrong but I assume this was the subconcious process in picking angel_of_hope rather than Angel of Hope.

I'm gonna go with "I was lazy when I first registered..."

...yup. L-A-A-H-H-Z-Y....

It's been almost five years, and I've never even thought to change my username. Maybe I should, actually. It might be time to shed the past a bit...

2old4this and Santasgotabiggun were good names though - note captialisation of the name Santa.

Not mine, I just saw them on different forums.

I have a Virgo Stellium and I am a stickler for Spelling as well as Capitalizing when it is proper to do so, such as with names, etc.

Neph, I have Merc in Virgo, but I was trying to keep it on the down low. You know that is the REAL issue.

I am neither a proper lady nor a proper noun.

I did think for a couple of seconds (ok, hours) about whether to capitalize my name. My username is not my real name, but it is something that could be my real name. So I decided that not capitalizing it would make it more clear to others that "jane" isn't my real name.

Also, like augentier, I prefer the lowercase aesthetic.

I used upper case because I always feel like I have to capitalize the first word of something or a name. Virgo nature, I suppose.

Well your 26 does look like its in caps next to the taurus part.
BTW....is the 26 your birthday?

I used all lower case for my former user name of fayte.m, but used all caps for LEXX just to be different from my old user name, and because I type one fingered it is quicker to just go all caps this time.

"Naming the kids and the cat was hard enough work". Got to agree with blue moon here. My cat is called 'Mrs Cat' because I couldn't think of anything else. When I was a kid my rabbit was called Rabbit.

Lower case folks is lazy. But not lazy with a capital L. haha

Hmmm,generally, what about those who use all caps:

ROSEBUD.

or MyNaMeHErE type caps.

I use lower because it appears balanced on the page and blends in.
