An active mailing list can receive up to 100 posts a day. The best bet is to subscribe to the list in the normal method and if you feel overwhelmed by the number of emails, simply switch to the digest method. When you make your first post you should introduce yourself, like you would when you first meet someone. It's acceptable to use pseudonyms, if it makes you feel more comfortable. When you reply to someone and quote their email, only quote the essential parts and cut the rest.
People sometimes speak in shorthand.
Writing in ALL CAPS is equal to screaming in person, so I wouldn't do that. If you don't understand something someone writes, don't be afraid to ask.
