NEWSGROUP, MAILING LIST, AND FIDONET ECHOMAIL ETIQUETTE FOR YOUNGER USERS
 
1. Be polite and friendly.
 
2. Do not post your home address or phone number.  A school address is
OK. Unfortunately, there are people with modems who may send you
information you won't like if you post your home address and phone
number.  If you want to exchange regular (written on paper) mail, use
your school address for at least the first mail.
 
3. No profanity (swears) or flaming (picking or participating in a
verbal fight).  Don't use language that you know is offensive to others.
 
4. Keep the subject matter G-rated.
 
5. Don't answer any inappropriate messages.  Let the moderators deal
with them.
 
6. ALL messages you write to people in a newsgroup are read by EVERYBODY
not just the person you are writing to.  Everyone can read it! If you
want to write to someone PRIVATELY, then you must write an email
message.
