Hello here is a helpful work IMHO,

The Core Rules of Netiquette are excerpted from the book Netiquette by Virginia Shea.


"Introduction
Rule 1: Remember the Human
Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life
Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace
Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth
Rule 5: Make yourself look good online
Rule 6: Share expert knowledge
Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control
Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy
Rule 9: Don't abuse your power
Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes "

This is the one I am currently reviewing, as I am new here to this forum,

"Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes
Everyone was a network newbie once. And not everyone has had the benefit of reading this book. So when someone makes a mistake -- whether it's a spelling error or a spelling flame, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer -- be kind about it. If it's a minor error, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before reacting. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else.

If you do decide to inform someone of a mistake, point it out politely, and preferably by private email rather than in public. Give people the benefit of the doubt; assume they just don't know any better. And never be arrogant or self-righteous about it. Just as it's a law of nature that spelling flames always contain spelling errors, notes pointing out Netiquette violations are often examples of poor Netiquette. "

So I installed ieSpell - Spell Checker add-on for Internet Explorer to help limit some of my errors and I recommend it to others also.

Cheers,
Vis.

Such is life @ 4forums I guess. I just keep reminding myself that what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger in the end.

Or more foolish looking.

"If god made human from dirt, how come there are still dirt around?" =/= "If god made human from dirt, how come there are still dirt around?" according to you despite being identical.

Good internet forum etiquette is to not criticize people when you cannot read properly. Furthermore, when people cite evidence showing you are completely wrong, do not lie especially when evidence shows you are lying.
