If you want to emphasize something without resorting to capslock, put asterisks on either side. The “show help” button (on the right when you’re about to post) explains all the options.
People sometimes find comments using ALL CAPS for emphasis unpleasant to read. I think that you may be annoying people with this behavior—I wanted to let you know in case this wasn’t your intention.
I think that upvoting simple “Thanks” comments is sometimes beneficial—courtesy can be helpful in maintaining useful dialogue between people who have very different beliefs prior to the discussion.
ETA: Yes, I will downvote such comments if they get too much karma—my note above mostly extends to a point or two.
