As a member of the worldwide group of network citizens, there are certain
standards of behavior which you are expected to observe. These may not be laws,

- Avoid annoying other people by rudeness or bad language.
- Check your Email regularly.
- Don't become angry or short tempered. Since mail you send cannot be
retrieved, make sure you never say things in Email that you will regret later. - Never assume that mail you send to someone will be kept private.
- Be truthful in what you say...incorrect information can be sent very quickly
over a network, and it may turn out to be quite harmful both to you and to
others.
- Don't gossip. Don't reveal confidential or personal information about
others. They are very likely to get copies of your messages.
- Be considerate and helpful to those with less experience.
- When you are participating in group discussions, stick to the permitted
topics and send messages only when you really have something to contribute.
- When you are finished with your work, log off the network so that others can
have access.
- Be professional and look your best. Since others can't see you, they will
judge you by your spelling, formatting, and by the way you say things. You are
representing yourselves, your parents, and your school.
