25 -Netiquette |
The Internet itself has grown
from the grassroots up. And with it, the concept of Netiquette has
evolved. You'll learn netiquette as you go. Here are some main
points, most having to do with e-mail and other written material you send
out, but some, too, having to do with making your own Web page.
-
If you advertise your e-mail address (as on
business cards), check and respond to your mail with the same diligence
as you would telephone messages. People regularly communicating by
e-mail expect prompt replies.
-
ALL CAPS IS CONSIDERED SHOUTING.
It's better to err on the side of under-capitalizing when using the
Internet.
-
Realize that no one can hear your tone of
voice or see your gestures. Take care that your written communication
accurately conveys what you mean and how you mean and how you mean it.
You can use sideways smiley faces, for example, to indicate good humor
:-)
-
Never, ever forge messages in some one else's
name. (This can actually cost you your account.)
-
You are generally welcome (even encouraged)
to promote links to others' Web pages. It's just good advertising
for them. When requesting to have links to your own pages posted
on someone else's page, however, don't assume that this service will be
free.
