One of the great things about the Net is the freedom we all have to post
anything (and look foolish?).  One of the sorry things about the Net is
that many people don't treat it with respect.

Exercising the first thing, because I'm disappointed about the second
thing, I am posting my own personal version of the ten rules I feel
most important for netters.  It's in a condensed, easy to post, easy
to ignore form, as a separate article (follows).

I welcome feedback (please be nice).  If there is enough interest I'll
evolve the list and (perhaps?) repost it periodically for new users.
What do you think?  (PLEASE be brief!) (You'd be amazed how much mail
an open question like that can draw!!)

Not afraid to post into the Void (even a little hypocritically),
