What is Netiquette?




E-mail, Mailing List and Usenet Newsgroup Netiquette
Following are some examples of widely accepted netiquette guidelines for e-mail, mailing lists and Usenet newsgroups

*Use normal upper and lower case letters. Avoid using all capital letters in a message; this is known as SHOUTING and is generally frowned upon.

*Don't assume that your intentions will be understood - remember that there is no body language or facial expression to indicate your intentions. Careful use of "emoticons" can help. For example:

:-) smile (humor, happy, encouragement)
:-( frown (sad, disapproval)
;-) wink (kidding, joking)
