Always use your best manners-netiquette

As found in Wikipedia, netiquette is defined as the "social conventions that facilitate interactions of networks."  Simply speaking, rules that govern the use of computers and the internet.  As with all behavior expectations, netiquette can vary depending on the community of people using it.
On www.albion.com, users can find a list of 10 rules taken from the book Netiquette written by Virginia Shea.  These are the basic rules of world wide web use in an easy to read format.
I also found a more detailed sight www.livinginternet.com with many tabs and links to find all the answers to netiquette questions.
My favorite sight was www.BPL.org.  This sight is the web page for the Boston Public Library.  This page was created for the use of children, listing eight rules that apply to internet usage with kids.
