  PROPER NETIQUETTE:

• Don't SHOUT in all caps.
   

• Remember: The person on the other end of a digital communication can't see your expression or hear your tone of voice.
   

• Cool off before responding to messages in anger.
   

• Check messages for misspellings or misstatements.
   

• Respect others' privacy and your own (for example, don't give your number to that new MySpace friend).
   

• Use a clear and understandable email subject line.
   

• Adjust your tone and style to the situation (for example, don't use IM-speak or all lowercase letters in an internship application).
   

• Don't forward private messages to people they weren't intended for or copy others on replies to personal messages.
   

• Remember: Email is never really private and a copy may exist in cyberspace . . . forever.
