why did we stop calling it netiquette. these days it's all "this is against TOS, you've been reported". so boring! i'd much rather say "this is bad netiquette, i've forwarded it to the admin". it's even standardized by rfc 1855!
Unless you are using an encryption device (hardware or software), you should assume that mail on the Internet is not secure. Never put in a mail message anything you would not put on a postcard. You should not send heated messages (we call these "flames") even if you are provoked. On the other hand, you shouldn't be surprised if you get flamed and it's prudent not to respond to flames. Wait overnight to send emotional responses to messages. If you have really strong feelings about a subject, indicate it via FLAME ON/OFF enclosures. For example: FLAME ON: This type of argument is not worth the bandwidth it takes to send it. It's illogical and poorly reasoned. The rest of the world agrees with me. FLAME OFF Just as mail (today) may not be private, mail (and news) are (today) subject to forgery and spoofing of various degrees of detectability.

Apply common sense "reality checks" before assuming a message is valid. Do not blame the system administrator for the behavior of the system users. Consider that a large audience will see your posts. That may include your present or your next boss. Take care in what you write. Remember too, that mailing lists and Newsgroups are frequently archived, and that your words may be stored for a very long time in a place to which many people have access. Don't get involved in flame wars. Neither post nor respond to incendiary material. If you are caught in an argument, keep the discussion focused on issues rather than the personalities involved. Do NOT assume that ANY information you find is up-to-date and/or accurate. Remember that new technologies allow just about anyone to be a publisher, but not all people have discovered the responsibilities which accompany publishing.
