Netiquette

Netiquette, a pun on "etiquette," refers to proper behavior on a network. In general, it is a peer group effort to remind users to respect the rights of others in a medium that can be impersonal and subject to abuse. Its main focus is on acceptable behavior on newsgroup and mailing list postings.
