I've had a comment that I use too many exclamation marks in my LJ/email, etc. I've noticed it myself, but I guess I've subconsciously felt that when writing it helps the lack of the ordinary speech cues you were talking about. But it's probably like the Ase's annoyance with the overuse of ellipses. It loses meaning when overused.
I've been trying to not use exclamation marks as much. :-)
I think I just got into the habit when first doing email, which was all personal at the time.
