Netiquette

As more and more people go online (yes, there are still people just beginning to stick their toes in the water now), I've often thought about a way to pass on some basic tips and courtesies that are really nothing more than common sense. You know: typing ALL IN CAPS LIKE YOU'RE SCREAMING AT THE PERSON YOU"RE WRITING TO or passing along an e-mail joke to everyone on your address list without using the BCC: option so everyone in the entire chain of e-mails can see your entire address book. Or worse. Well, the good folks at NetManners created a great site and an e-mail newsletter that addresses many of the issues. A lot of us old users like to refer to good online manners and protocol as Netiquette.
