Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 * The most important rule of netiquette is, "Think before you post". If what you intend to post will not make a positive contribution to the newsgroup and be of interest to several readers, do not post it! Personal messages to one or two individuals should not be posted to newsgroups <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroup> —use private e-mail <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail> instead. * Quoting should be interspersed, with your response following the relevant quoted material. The result should read like a conversation, with quotes indented to aid in skimming. A common mistake is to put all new text above the quoted material, without trimming any irrelevant text. This results in a message that is much harder to follow and much less clear context. Remember that your audience uses kill files <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_file> , sites drop messages, mailbox quotas go over their limit, users might be dealing with thousands of pieces of correspondence a day and messages get delivered out of order: .......

Please consider what are doing carefully, and think carefully before sending in posts. Thanking you for your consideration.
