Netiquette: The Fine Art of Correct Behavior on the Internet

The basic rule:

  • Do not go boldly where you have never gone before!

More rules:

  1. Stop and learn the rules of behaviour in effect in this particular group and follow them!
  2. Look for a list of Frequently Asked Questions (the FAQ) so you don't ask the same questions that everyone else has many times before.
  3. Listen patiently to the discussion groups you have joined and learn the tone, language, and culture of the group.
  4. Never post your resume to the list nor openly tell the entire list you are job searching and ask if anyone can help you unless the group is specifically set up for this kind of service.
