Authority for netiquette?

When surfing the Internet, you must follow certain standard to communicate with others.
Since no one owns the Internet, netiquette is basically a mixed of common sense and courtesy.

Good netiquette involves respecting others' privacy and not doing anything online that will annoy or frustrate other people.

Three areas where good netiquette is highly stressed are e-mail, online chat, and newsgroups.

Information Services (Gopher, Wais, WWW, ftp, telnet)

In recent Internet history, the 'Net has exploded with new and varied Information services. Gopher, Wais, World Wide Web (WWW), Multi-User Dimensions (MUDs) Multi-User Dimensions which are Object Oriented (MOOs) are a few of these new areas. Although the ability to find information is exploding, "Caveat Emptor" remains constant.

User Guidelines

- 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.

- Since the Internet spans the globe, remember that Information Services might reflect culture and life-style markedly different from your own community.

- When bringing up your own information service, such as a homepage, be sure to check with your local system administrator to find what the local guidelines are in affect.
