Internet Etiquette

- Always end your email messages with your name and email address.

- Always include a subject heading with email.

- Only forward a message if it is appropriate and if doing so will not harm the reputation of the writer. If in doubt, get permission to forward the message form the original sender.

- Take care with your punctuation and spelling and don't write in capitals SINCE IT LOOKS AS IF YOU ARE SHOUTING.

- Always give credit for anything you use or find in the Internet.

- If you get flamed, do not flame in return. Stay cool and respond with wit and good humor. It will make you look cool and make the flamer look bad.
