Hi all, Ah-yes, that old "etiquette" thing. The rules of behavior standard in society. It means we wear clothes in public. Don`t blow thru straws in drinks. Wear a tie at formal events. Drive on the correct side of the road. Do not perform violent acts against each other. Use proper capitalization, punctuation, and grammer. Do not shout at each other unless in very excited or agitated state. Communicate in a normal tone of voice. Lower case letters represent a normal tone of voice and all capitals represent an excited angry state. Its the normal rules of our society and computer use. We always will find those who do not wish to follow the rules of our normal etiquette, and all we can do is feel sorry for them and their lack of education as children and in later life. They feel that they can just run over people and not follow any rules of good order. They are the folks who think its always someone elses fault that they are not treated right, even as they alienate others with their crude ways. I have followed the rules of professional etiquette and have not named any names or pointed any fingers so as not to embarrass anyone unnecessarily. The rules of etiquette and conduct are our only hope of a smooth running society, and of all persons knowing the same knowledge of what is expected of them in their interactions with others around them or that they come in contact with.
