I am sorry to have replied to the whole list, that mail escaped my control.
Nelson, simple search (just search for "netiquette") with a web search engine
will give you answers and you'll be able to read a lot about why Netiquette were
defined and how the Internet evolved. Passionant, as we say in French
(Swiss-French, that is (:-) ). http://www.ne.ch/tourism/en/index.htm ;
http://www.ne.ch/neuchatel/, click on: visite NE in 2 minutes ! www.neuchatel.ch
is another site
Netscape used to have a link to netiquettes, can't seem to find in the previous
to last version.
This is the official version:

Good summary

What the real FAQ is not (but I did not take the time to look for it, but it is
there, I believe)

My remark wasn't intended as sarcasm, but was a "burst of temper" (may be to
harsh a) reaction to obvious misunderstanding of basic netiquette.
