Here are some tips for internet and email etiquette:
- Keep your messages short and to the point
- Don't send messages to people who don't need to receive them
- Never send an e-mail message that you wouldn't want broadcast on the evening news
- Be thoughtful about clipping and pasting others' messages in those you send
- If you receive a message sent to a list of people, do not respond needlessly to the entire list
- Use a professional tone in your messages
- Use the grammar and spell checks before sending your messages
- Capitalize words only to highlight an important point, or use asterisks to surround a word you want to emphasize.
- Be careful when using sarcasm and humor. Your "joke" could be misunderstood
